Hanalei and the North Shore of Kauai bewitch residents and visitors alike. They say it is our good earth’s most precious jewel.

KAWEONUI BEACH, in a secluded cove just below The House, means “beautiful to behold”. The reef comes close to shore, which makes it a favorite snorkeling, and fishing spot nicknamed “The Farm”.  
“Thank you for providing the perfect Kauai getaway.  We loved secluded Kaweonui beach…terrific snorkeling!”
