It is not a safe swimming beach, but perfect in beauty and sun soaking. Kauai has the unparalleled Na Pali Coast. These are cliffs that just jet out of the water, and have water falls running down them all over. The best place to view them is from the air, or from the water on a boat. The tiki torches are lit all over, and you can hear music coming from all different corners.
Night brings a whole new Hawaii.
Kauai is serene and peaceful. A slow paced atmosphere conducive to relaxation. No body is worried about being late or being entertained at all moments of the day. The locals are so friendly and helpful, and full of advice as well. Both islands have their own beauty, their own feeling.
