哈纳雷小镇

Enjoying_living

我本来希望我们来度假的时候码头应该关了。巴里房产的摄像机一直让我知道工程的信息。不幸的是,还没有完工。但是无论如何,我们看见了很美的风景、美丽的海浪,感受到了热带微风!有一些潜水员、船员和冲浪的人。因为我们是工作日去的,所以海滩上人不是很多。

当时我们住的是一个朋友的家,就在Hanalei海湾入口的对街上。如今每每回想,心中仍有别样的感觉。Kauai(可爱岛)真的有一种魔力,尤其是它郁郁葱葱的北岸,以这篇海滩为最。这里你可以看冲浪者冲浪,可以散步,无所事事的发呆。我们在比较安静的西端休息,但去栈桥散步和回去的时候,看到热闹地带一家大小们玩得开心,也觉得很热闹。当时的水对我来说太凉了,没有游泳和浮潜,所以不予置评。

这片沙滩非常粗狂,很适合冲浪。不过沙滩周围的景色美极了。在这里,时间似乎静止,真让人流连忘返。我们来这里时正举行夏威夷音乐节日,还有Hula舞蹈,这次经历非常难得。

很多年以来我们都是去考艾岛度假,现在考艾岛仍然是我们的最爱!!有些地方的海水有较多的浪头,而有些地方的海水则比较平静,孩子们和家庭较喜欢。所以这片水域适合各个年龄阶段的人来度假。沙滩上永远都是那么干净。最赞的是抬起头来便可以看到青山、沙滩、海水和美丽的天空。对于那些从来没有冲过浪的人来说冬季来这里是最合适不过了。洗手间里干净清洁。总体上讲,这是一个放松身心的好地方。

Maybe you were too young, or maybe you never even saw the movie; but this is the spot, the fabled "Bali Hai" and there is no other beach like it in the world! Beautiful arc of white sand, gentle, shallow wading for hundreds of feet from shore, but still with real ride-able surf beyond. Oh, and the view! Lush forest behind, with the magical mountains to your left. AND a wade-able little river with a clear, cool stream of fresh water feeding the sea, just right for a post-ocean rinse. Wow - even decent bathrooms and a pier.

A very busy beach as it's iconic. Very nice to stop to watch a sunset here or pack a picnic. We usually walk to the end of the pier and snap photos. Great beginner surfing in the area with consistent waves. Great place for families.

Beautiful beach and a must see however parking is limited. Go at least to see the wet cave and the dry cave.

My favorite beach on the island! This is where I wanted to go each day. Just could not get over that stunning view of the mountains. Nice, wide beach and just spectacular!

If you enjoy long leisurely walks on the beach, heading north on Kauai will get you to some great areas that are perfect. From Hanalei to "the end of the road" there are great options. We mere there on March 2nd and the beaches were not crowded at all. Parking at most beaches can be in short supply, but we were able to quickly park at a couple of them and took some great walks. Saw some great surfing, Waves were impressive, at one spot we took some great pictures of the waves crashing into the rocks.We stayed in the Lihue area, so the drive north was about 65 minutes. There is plenty to see on the way there and back. Worth the drive for a great day on the beach. Stopped at some small craft shops, Hawaii soap and Candle store, and other sites on the way back.

Ok I didn't stay in any hotel motel etc just stayed on the beach that's what I'm reviewing! One stunning adventure after another- from the diving birds on the north shore cliffs to the river surfing where it hits the sea - to the dragon's- back of the actual Hanalei( home to Puff the Magic Dragon) even the Taro fields accentuating the ancient Hawaiians staple food were just fascinating and unforgettable. All this while swimming and snorkeling at 75 degrees year- round and sun kist bodies all around We'd ride stop at any beach to surf swim or picnik. Kauai is a place of laid- back charm magic and excitement - so unlike the city atmosphere of Honolulu - pure Hawaii in the country - A total thumbs up. Aloha is fluently spoken here

We recently rented a beautiful beachfront home right across the street from Hanalei beach and pier and it was spectacular! The views from sundown to sunset were always magnificent, and the beach was always clean and never crowded. Our twin grandsons totally enjoyed their daily time in the water and playing in the sand. Nice to have lifeguards on duty as well. You can pop into scenic "downtown" Hanalei in a matter of minutes to buy lunch to go from a number of delicious eateries. Or--get an ice cream at Pinks!!

We spent two different days on the Hanalei Beach. It is so large that depending where you set up you can choose small to large waves. The area in the middle of the bay by the life guard tower had larger waves for body surfing and towards the pier the waves were smaller for children to play in. The beach is pretty clean for the most part. We were there during Presidents weekend and the beach was crowded near the pier but we still had a great time.

Love this Island and especially this beach! Great mix of tourists and locals. Being blended makes it more social and realistic to see how life is in this beach paradise! So close to all amenities and when you are there, you will never want to leave!!

I camped here while visting Kauai. What is really nice is that you are so close to Hanalei for dinner or anything you might need, but for $5 you can throw your tent down on the beach and listen to waves wash in. The showers here have a cover, but they are a far cry from a hot hotel shower and the bathrooms left a bit to be desired. The downside to camping anywhere in Hawaii is the Roosters at 4am. I felt very safe and everyone at the park was friendly. I had emailed the park board about a permit and they informed me to just buy one from the ranger in the park for $5 instead of $3 from the office or ahead of time. The problem is that there is no ranger constantly at the park, they come though in the evening and shortly after the roosters start crowing... The ranger who sold me a permit in the morning was a bit surly, but the sun wasn't up yet. Beautiful park.. with multi million dollar houses along the bay. You can wake up and go to bed with the same view and experience for only $5.

In the weeks we spent there the locals said there was epic surf and it surely looked like it. Can get crowded on the eastern end but just a short walk west is well worth the effort.
