Lying on the northern region of Kauai is a place known as Hanalei. The name of the place literally means crescent shaped and lei making in the Hawaiian dialect. This small yet nice community built around the bay surrounded by Hanalei Beach, which has been popular with its fine white sand. Majestic mountains ring the valley of Hanalei signifying a very rural yet warm community where taro is considered as the major crop.
One of the main attractions of this census-designated place in Kauai is the natural beauty of the Hanalei Bay. From a distance the wholeness of the bay resembles the shape of the half moon, probably the reason for its name. The beach along shore the bay is the perfect spot for strolling activities. Swimming is best on the western part of the bay because of the quiet character of the water unlike the northern shore where sports activities like surfing are mostly preferable, However, safety regulations in the whole Kauai advises tourists who wants to perform their swimming pleasure to swim only in the waters that have lifeguards on duty. While some areas can be considered as safe, unexpected incidents in the water might occur.
Sunbathing, picnicking or just plain sightseeing will provide you with an experience that is uniquely Hanalei’s. Beach parks such as Haena State Park, Anini Beach Park, and Lumahai Beach Park are another part of the attractions that Hanalei boasts for.
Imagine the experience of going around a community surrounded by valleys and mountains combined with all the entertainment that shops, galleries and restaurants has to provide for travelers. Clothing and gift shops are present in this small village community.
Tourism is the primary source of income for the Hanalei government as well as for the small business owners holding retail stores and prominent ones including hotel and restaurant owners. Due to this, the community takes it own share of responsibility on how to preserve the beauty of Hanalei as they move on to more progressive developments aimed at enticing more vacationers to get on with a Hanalei vacation experience. ?????? ????? ????
