North Shore
Princeville
and the North Shore are among the most popular vacation spots on Kauai.
We've stayed on various parts of the island--Wailua, Kapa'a, Poipu, and
Princeville--and always found ourselves spending most of our time enjoying the
North Shore. Whether you come to Hawaii for the beautiful beaches,
incomparable golf courses, breathtaking diving spots, fantastic snorkeling
locations, whale watching, or a wide range of activities, the North Shore is the
ultimate destination.
North
Shore Beaches
The
North Shore has some of the most beautiful beaches on Kauai. Ke'e Beach is
a swimming and sunbathing favorite. Haena Beach and Tunnels are both
popular beaches for swimming, sunbathing, and snorkeling. Hideaways is one
of our favorite beaches because it is almost always uncrowded and is always
beautiful. Queen's Bath offers some marvelous swimming, and Secret Beach
is Kauai's clothing-optional beach. Pu'u Poa Beach is also a great
sunbathing beach. Most of the above beaches, including Ke'e, Tunnels,
Hideaways, Queen's Bath, and Secret Beach, are rated as "Real Gems" by
The Ultimate Kauai Guidebook.
North
Shore Golf
The
Prince Course, located in the prestigious Princeville Resort on Kauai's North
Shore, is a world-class resort course rated #1 in all the Hawaiian Islands by Golf
Digest. Spanning almost 400 picturesque acres, the Prince Course was
designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr. around cliffs, gorges, and rolling
hills. When it opened in 1990, Golf Digest proclaimed the Prince
Course to be the best new resort course in the United States. It is both
challenging and rewarding. The
Ultimate Kauai Guidebook writes
"The
design stresses unobstructed expansiveness, with the rolling topography and
deep gorges serving as the main hazards and obstacles. There are nine
miles of cart paths, and the layout allows for considerable room between
holes. Hole 6 offers a delightful march toward the ocean cliffs.
At hole 7, you must shoot over a gorge onto a narrow finger of land
containing the green and little else. The 14th green is accompanied by
a charming waterfall coming out of a hole in the mountain. You won't
find a lot of flat areas on this course, but you will find tough,
challenging world class golfing."
The
Prince Course is not the only great course available in Princeville. The
Makai Course, also designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr., is rated by Golf
Digest as the #6 course in Hawaii, and is included in its Top 50 Resort
Courses. Really three courses in one, the Ocean Nine overlooks the
Pacific, the Lakes Nine winds its way around scenic lakes, and the Woods Nine is
nestled amid native woodlands. For 18 holes you get your choice of two,
with Ocean/Lakes being the most popular. The
Ultimate Kauai Guidebook writes "The Ocean is the most challenging and
interesting of the three, as well as the longest. The 6th and 7th holes
offer dramatic views of the North Shore coastline from the edge of a steep
cliff."
No
other area of Kauai can compete with Princeville when the quality of the golf
courses is factored in. Guests at The Cliffs 7301 are entitled to a 20%
discount at both Princeville courses.
Dive
Spots
The
North Shore of Kauai also offers some great shore diving locations. In
fact, four of the top five best sites for shore dives are on the North
Shore. Ke'e Beach, Tunnels, Cannons, and The Hole are among the top
spectacular North Shore dive spots. Abundant sea turtles and plentiful
brightly colored fish, lava tubes, ledges, reef sharks, and caves make for some
wondrous underwater sights.
Boat
dives off Ni'ihau are also available, with crystal clear water and fantastic
visibility, lots of sharks, rays, turtles, dolphins, and your best opportunity
to see the endangered Hawaiian monk seal.
Snorkeling
There
are several great snorkeling sites on the North Shore. Our personal
favorite is Hideaways. Although the descent to the beach is somewhat
difficult, it is worth the hike. We've often had the beach to ourselves,
and have sometimes been joined by a few inquisitive sea turtles. There is
a diverse fish population, and the visibility is usually excellent. The
beach has marvelous coarse sand and large false kamani trees for
shade. The snorkeling at Hideaways can't be topped during calm
seas.
Ke'e
Beach also offers great snorkeling during calm seas, but is more accessible and
thus more crowded than Hideaways. During summer months the lagoon is
usually calm and provides great snorkeling.
Tunnels
is often referred to as one of Kauai's snorkeling nirvanas. This fantastic
beach is protected by a wide-fringing reef. The wide variety of underwater
like is one of the prime attractions of Tunnels.
Pu'u
Poa Beach is another beach that we often visit. During summer months the
snorkeling can be quite good, and the beach itself is very nice if you are
accompanied by sunbathers.
Queen's
Bath also offers good snorkeling opportunities, as does 'Anini Beach park.
While
the snorkeling at Poipu, on the southern part of the island, is good, we've
always found snorkeling at North Shore sites to be exceptional. Be sure to
visit Poipu while you are on the island, but if you're like us you'll always
return to the beauty and variety of the North Shore.
Whale
Watching
If
you visit the islands between December and March, you'll have the opportunity to
watch the humpback whales as they visit the Hawaiian Islands. More
plentiful as Spring approaches, whales can be viewed from inside The Cliffs
7301. That's another reason why it is important to have accommodations
with an ocean view. From the living room or ocean lanai, whales can be
seen carousing in the emerald waters of the Pacific. Be sure to bring a
pair of binoculars or a camera with a telephoto lens to get your best view of
these ocean giants. The Cliffs even has a gazebo on the bluff overlooking
the ocean so that you can get an even closer view.
Activities
Although
Kauai is not as commercial as Maui or Oahu, there are still plenty of activities
available on the North Shore. These activities are not limited to the
aforementioned golf, diving, and snorkeling. The Cliffs resort has four
tennis courts, a pool, a putting green, table tennis, bike rentals, boogie board
rentals, and other activities. Various companies on the North Shore also
offer horseback riding, ocean or river kayaking, and helicopter rides departing from the Princeville airport.
You can also hike along the Kalalua Trail overlooking the Na Pali costline, go
camping, and just spend time enjoying the lush tropical forests of the North Shore.
The Na Pali coastline is awesome to behold, and we highly recommend one of the
boat trips such as Hanalei Sea Tours. The Kileaua Lighthouse and Bird
Sanctuary are also great spots to visit.
