"Hanalei Bay is an iconic bay located on the northern shore of Kauai. Hanalei Bay offers a variety of outdoor activities, including swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding. The town of Hanalei is a charming community with restaurants, shops, and art galleries. This bay is considered one of the best beaches for swimming and relaxing. "

"The iconic beach of Kauai-- this place blew my mind the first time I went. It's magnitudes less crowded than any main beach on Oahu and I just love the mountainous backdrop.
Tip: The pier side of the beach has the best view of the mountains."
