Beaches
Kauai has no shortage of beaches, especially ones that provide the perfect spot for watching the sunset. Here are some of our favorites.
Hanalei Bay, North Shore
This beach is tucked right outside of Kauai’s winding mountains with pristine waterfalls surrounding it. Walk out onto the pier and take it all in. Overall it’s a great destination to stop by for sunset watching.
Kalalau Lookout, North Shore
There’s nothing quite like watching the sun set over Kalalau Lookout. As the day comes to an end, the sky is filled with a brilliant orange hue, and the ocean looks like a sheet of glass. It’s the perfect place to unwind and appreciate the natural beauty of Kauai. And since it’s located near the Kalalau Trailhead, it’s also a great place to start your hike. Just be sure to bring a flashlight for the return trip!
Poipu Beach Park, South Shore
Poipu Beach is one of the most popular sunset spots on Kauai. The beach is well-known for its beautiful golden sand and stunning views of the setting sun. Visitors can often find a spot to themselves along the wide expanse of shoreline, making it the perfect place to relax and watch the day come to an end.
As the sun dips below the horizon, the water turns a deep blue, and the sky is filled with a dazzling array of colors. Whether you’re enjoying a romance novel or simply taking in the natural beauty, Poipu Beach is sure to make your sunset experience one to remember.
A Sunset Boat Tour
Now we might be biased but a sunset tour is easily one of the best (and our favorite) ways to see the sunset. You get to see the sunset away from the shore and other light pollution, giving you a much more vivid experience.
There’s nothing quite like watching the sunset from the deck of a boat. As the day comes to an end, you can sit back and relax with a drink in hand, surrounded by the beautiful colors of the sky. And on Kauai, there’s no better way to experience a sunset than on a sunset boat tour. On these tours, you’ll cruise along the coast, enjoying stunning views of the cliffs and caves.
And as the sun sets, you’ll be able to watch the sky change color, from deep oranges to rich purples. It’s an unforgettable experience that’s well worth doing while on Kauai. So if you’re looking for a unique way to enjoy a sunset, be sure to book a sunset boat tour.
