| Points
of Interest ( referred from AAA tour book) |
-
HAENA: A village near the north end
of Hwy. 56, offers fishing, swimming and hiking. The beauty of this area
is idyllic rather than majestic and has provided the appealing setting
for several motion pictures, including "South Pacific".
-
HANALEI: Hanalei's colorful history
embraces whalers and traders who docked at the bustling harbor for supplies.
Once supported by the sugar industry, the town is now a trading center
for surrounding macadamia nut plantations.
-
HANAPEPE: Easy-going Hanapepe has
not always been so. In 1924, 20 people died in a fracas between striking
sugar cane workers and police. The community is now known for the beauty
of its setting. From a vantage point west of town on Hwy. 500 unfolds a
vista of Hanapepe Valley and its taro patches. The rim of Waimea canon
is visible to the west.
-
KALAHEO: Flower, nuts and other crops
have supplanted the sugar cane that once was the primary yield of the rolling
green valley surrounding Kalaheo. The town is quietly reminiscent of Hawaii's
plantation era.
-
Kilauea: Off the coast of Kilauea,
porpoises, sea turtles and humpback whales often are spotted within 100
yards of shore during the winter. Two miles off Hwy. 56, past the old sugar
mill and post office, arough road leads to a bluff overlooking the coast
-
KOLOA:Koloa blossomed after the first
sugar mill on the island, rivaled Honolulu and Lahaina as a storage depot
for whaling ships.
-
LIHUE: County seat of Kauai and the
neighboring island of Niihau. Lihue also is a cultural and business center.
A number of 19th-century building along Rice Street, the main throughfare,
house stores and offices. Lihue plantation, with nearly 14,000 acres under
cultivation, is a notable sugar plantation. Hanamaulu Village is part of
the plantation, which is west of the junction of Hwys, 50 and 56.
-
WAILUA: At the mouth of the Wailua
River, Wailua is at the northern edge of the growing resort center that
lines the east-central coast. Its name means "twin waters", most likely
a reference to the double cascade of Wailua Falls, southwest of Wailua
on Hwy 583
-
WAIMEA: Once the Polynesian capital
of Kauai, Waimea was the site of Capt. James Cook's first landing in the
islands in 1778. The settlement later became a favorite harbor and a main
provisioning port for early whalers and traders
