If you are considering purchasing Kauai real estate, there are some lush, beautiful areas that you just cannot miss when you are searching for your dream property. From beautiful beaches to lush forests, Kauai offers something for everyone. Check out these six areas on Kauai before you decide on any one spot:
The Alakai Wilderness Preserve: For anyone that loves a great hike, this is the area to do it. It’s also known as the Alaka’i swamp because of the bogs that are native to this area of Hawaii. And, since the preserve is located on the plateau that sits on Mount Wai’ale’ale, you will find that it really lives up to being one of the wettest places on Earth. Almost constantly covered in a misty cloud, it’s very mysterious and romantic at the same time.
Hanalei Bay: In the summer this bay is like glass, lying on the North Shore, a bay with almost three miles of beach on Kauai. It offers a backdrop of waterfalls and high mountains, and the small friendly town of Hanalei is situated about half way along the bay. In the winter the surf is big and great for riding, although the water moves faster than the surf does. The real estate is fabulous, and is available both on the bay and in the town.
Ke’e Beach: This is one of the most beautiful areas on Kauai and is reached by a small foot path. Ke’e Beach sits in the Na Pali Coast State Park and is calm and shallow making it a great place to take the family. Be careful venturing further out beyond the protective reef, as the currents outside the reef can be strong. Anyone would love to live near Ke’e Beach and residential property is close by so you can enjoy this beach any time you want.
Limahuli Garden and Preserve: Who doesn’t love a beautiful, breathtaking hike through one of the most beautiful natural gardens in the United States? This preserve won both “The Best Natural Botanical Garden” in the United States and the top award from the HTA (Hawaii Tourism Authority). There is so much natural beauty here and it is easy to find a beautiful piece of Kauai real estate close by to enjoy it even more.
Wailua River State Park: For anyone into kayaking or canoeing, who loves hiking and massive, 150-foot waterfalls, this is the park for you. Wailua River is Hawaii’s only navigable rive and home to Opaeka’a Falls, which can be seen for miles. There are several residential areas close by from which to enjoy all this state park offers throughout the year.
Waimea Canyon State Park: Have you ever wished you could own real estate on the Galapagos Islands? Or perhaps around the Grand Canyon? Wouldn’t that be a thing to have? Yet if you purchase some Kauai Real Estate you have the next best thing – or even better. The Waimea Canyon was likened to the Grand Canyon by Mark Twain, only the Kauai version isn’t as deep. It is, however ‘Grander’. It has a volcano smack bang in the middle of it, and is more awe-inspiring. It is filled with trees, and deserving its comparison with the Galapagos, contains flowers and rare bird species found only on Kauai. It might also contain unique animals and insects, only they haven’t been discovered yet. Perhaps you could discover them and even put your name to them if you had some real estate here.
These are only six of the wonderful areas you’ll find on Kauai. There are other communities and towns on Kauai, each of which offers their own charm, you’ll want to check out. There’s no shortage of beautiful locations and residences on Kauai from which to find your dream home.
