About Lihue

Lihue, Hawaii, located on the eastern side of Kauai, owes it's continued growth to sugarcane. Yes, it is the same crop that fueled the island's growth in the 1840s! This plantation town is the county seat of Kauai. Have a sweet vacation at this plantation paradise! Immerse yourself in Kauai's history by visiting the Kauai Museum, 'the keepers of the legacy'.

Kauai means sunshine and Lihue is a great suntan spot. Beach lovers will want to visit Kalapaki Beach on beautiful Nawiliwili Bay. Relatively calm surf and gentle sloping sand makes it one of the best swimming beaches on Kauai. Snorkeling here is a hot commodity, so does the exciting catamaran cruises and surf lessons!

Vacationers here may want to take a dip while on a visit to Hanamaulu County Beach Park. In addition to the beach, there is a lagoon that was formed by the Hanamaulu Stream. The beach has gentle surf that makes swimming a pleasure for guests of Kauai Vacation Homes..
