"Hawaii is one of the most visited destinations in the world, with nearly 10 million tourists each year, and the winter (along with summer) ranks among the best time to vacation here in large part because you can trade gloomy overcast days for near-constant sunshine. While Hawaii has four tourist-friendly islands, Kauai is the most underrated. At 552 square miles, it's also the smallest."
"Kauai's South Shore features Poipu Beach Park, which is one of the best places to peep sea turtles. In fact, the park is home to the spot locals call Sea Turtle Rest, where every night dozens of animals come in to sleep. Visitors flock to Poipu to watch the sun set perhaps with a Hawaiian hot dog in hand from Puka Dog right up the beach and then the sea turtles."
Kauai is the smallest of Hawaii's four main tourist-friendly islands at 552 square miles and remains underrated despite high overall visitor numbers. A three-to-four-hour drive circles the U-shaped road, while the Na Pali Coast is reachable only by air or sea. A building-height rule limits structures to about 50 feet, preserving a laid-back atmosphere. The island is best explored section by section: North Shore, South Shore, East Shore, West Shore, and Lihue. The South Shore includes Poipu Beach Park, home to nightly sea turtle gatherings at Sea Turtle Rest, Shipwreck Beach, and Hanapepe town with Lilo & Stitch murals and a Friday night market.
