Guidebook For The South Shore
Parks & Nature
Great hikes, easy too difficult. Check out a local guidebook for specific trails. We love the Waipo'o Falls trail, which winds along the edge of Waimea Canyon, ending up at the upper waterfall with a swimming pool at its base. Awesome!

Sightseeing
Take the short tour at the Kauai Coffee plantation store and view the video to see all the details of coffee growing and processing. Buy some freshly ground coffee! My favorite is the Mundo Novo variety--very smooth and deep flavor. Make it strong--you won't be sorry!

Food Scene
Take a stroll eastward on the greenbelt path to the Grand Hyatt. Just enjoy the views of the beautiful Shipwreck Beach and the awesome landscaping around the hotel, or stop in one of the bars for an iconic tropical drink or a local beer.
For fine dining, don’t miss Tidepools. Great menu and a tropical vibe — beach huts surrounded by a giant koi pond.

Great beach vibe with ocean views, tasty menu items including fresh island fish and the best coconut shrimp on the island (in my opinion). Friendly staff, including the local owners.
