Kauai

The greenest island: sunny Poipu in the south, Hanalei Bay in the north, the Coconut Coast between.

6423 waterfront rentals·30 shores·Every listing on the water·Updated 2026-11-12

Kauai is the oldest of the main islands and the least built up, with no building taller than a coconut palm by county rule. Poipu on the south shore is the sunniest part and has the calmest winter swimming. The east side around Kapaa and Wailua, called the Coconut Coast, has a long paved shoreline path and many oceanfront condos. The north shore at Princeville, Hanalei and Haena is the most dramatic, with the best beach weather in summer and big surf in winter.
