When it’s time to hit the beach, and it always seems time to venture to the sands in Lihue, some of the more popular spots for sun worshippers are Kalapaki Beach, Ninini Beach, and Niumalu Beach Park.
A truly great experience for nature lovers is the Huleia National Wildlife Refuge, where you can kayak down the Huleia River, which winds through thick jungle terrain. You might even recognize your surroundings because this is where the opening scenes of Raiders of the Lost Ark were filmed.
Other fun activities include visiting the Grove Farm Homestead Museum, an 80-acre plantation, the Menehune Fishpond, an area where an ancient race once resided, and the Kauai Museum, which is brimming with artifacts and art.
Bring your camera when you play golf in Lihue where top courses include Kauai Lagoons Golf Club, Grove Farm, Puakea, and Wailua.
To be sure, you’ll enjoy the tropical surroundings in Lihue. When it’s time to go indoors, why not return each day to a roomy holiday rental instead of a less-than-inspiring, tiny hotel room.
