From Princeville to the end of the Kūhiō Highway at the northern edge of Kaua’i are over a dozen beaches to pick from when deciding how you want to relax along the Pacific Ocean. A few offer amenities, restrooms and lifeguards while others offer only pretty scenery and an occasional palm tree for shade. This one is Hanalei Beach. In 2009, it was proclaimed to be America’s Best Beach by Dr. Beach.
