Must Visit Restaurants 'Non-North Shore'
Best spot for sushi to go. Hanamalu across from the Shell station. We like to get our food to go & then drive to either Lydgate Beach Park or Kalapaki Bay for a picnic.

My favorite 'go to' restaurant for special occasions. It's a bit of a drive (back by airport) but worth the drive. Best atmosphere, great food, great views.

Favorite Beaches
Gorgeous water, white sand and a long coastline. 'Tourist's Lumaha'i' is on the east side (just around the bend after Hanalei) and has about a 2-3 minute hike. It's the most breathtaking part of the beach. 'Local's Lumaha'i' is at the west side of the beach adjacent to the river. The sand can get VERY HOT midday so be careful.

Amazing for snorkeling & early morning shell collecting. Parking can be tough so getting there earlier is always advised.

My personal favorite beach, world-wide. Hanalei Bay is bracketed by the Hanalei Mountains and has a sandy bottom from the Hanelei Pier extending all the way west to Waikoko's. I'm here every morning with my golden retriever 'Duke' doing my "Gratitude Walk or Jog". Perfect place to spend the day, relax, get a tan, swim and unwind.
This is a great place to learn to surf (next to the pier), is ideal for family photos (early morning & sunset), and holds a magical spot in my heart. If you're there in the morning before 8:00am, look for me & Duke. We will either be walking, jogging or swimming.
