My Mirror Stop

When considering purchasing Kauai real estate, there are some areas that are just downright beautiful to the point that it can be hard to choose where to buy. But, depending on what type of scenery you love, you can narrow down your choices until you find that perfect spot. Here are six beautiful places in Kauai for you to enjoy:

The Alakai Wilderness Preserve: You sure wouldn't associate this place with paradise, but to many people it is. Born out of one of the earth's wettest areas, the fog-shrouded Mount Wai'ale'ale, this is an area of natural bogs that is great to explore at any time. The locals call it Alakai swamp, and it is a reserve for many rare birds and plants. Who knows - you might find an undiscovered species!

Hanalei Bay: While this is the biggest bay on the North Shore of Kauai, it's also one of the most beautiful beaches to be found anywhere. Hanalei's soft sandy beaches are surrounded by beautiful green mountains making it a picture perfect place to call home. And, for those that love the convenience of a town close by, the quaint town of Hanalei sits right in the middle of the bay.

Ke'e Beach: This is one of the most beautiful areas on Kauai and is reached by a small foot path. Ke'e Beach sits in the Na Pali Coast State Park and is calm and shallow making it a great place to take the family. Be careful venturing further out beyond the protective reef, as the currents outside the reef can be strong. Anyone would love to live near Ke'e Beach and residential property is close by so you can enjoy this beach any time you want.

Limahuli Garden and Preserve: For any outdoors person who loves hiking and some breathtaking natural views, this preserve is where you want to be. You'll find that it lives up to the awards that it has won - such as the best natural botanical garden in the US - and you won't want to miss anything here when you hike. There are residential areas nearby that have homes and vacant land you can purchase from which to enjoy the views and wonders of Limahuli Gardens.

Wailua River State Park: While this state park is the place to go for canoeing and kayaking, it's also home to one of the most beautiful waterfalls on Kauai -Opaeka'a Falls. This 150-foot waterfall offers breathtaking views from miles around and the Wailua Homesteads, a neighborhood affording fabulous views of the falls and river, is home to popular real estate in Kauai.

Waimea Canyon State Park: No matter if you love the Grand Canyon or not, you will love Waimea Canyon. Made by a massive volcano, the canyon was formed from runoff water over millions of years. The best part is that the canyon is beautifully green year round, so you can always enjoy the breathtaking views, no matter which area of the canyon you are on.

For anyone wanting to enjoy the true Hawaiian beauty that Kauai offers - these are six great places to start. Of course, there are some other areas around the island you'll want to check out also, to make sure you find the perfect place to call home on Kauai.
