“Having my own Exclusive category in the

—Ronnie Grover, Kauai Sea Tours

INFORMATIVE EDITORIALS Feature editorials focus on Kaua‘i lifestyle, history, services and guides to unique places and things to do while on Kaua‘i.

ISLAND-WIDE MAPS Detailed Island maps lead visitors directly to our advertisers.

DINING, ACTIVITY, SHOPPING & WELLNESS REVIEWSAlphabetical directory listings assist visitors in making their dining, activities, and shopping choices with informative reviews and at-a-glance information such as hours of operation, location and reservation numbers.

A carefully sculpted mound of ice as soft and fluffy as newly fallen snow is drenched in tropical fruit-flavored syrup, drizzled with creamy sweet-

ened condensed milk, and served with a spoon in a cone-shaped cup. Sound heavenly? It is. It’s Hawaiian shave ice—the Islands’ quintessential frozen sweet treat.

Every state has its must-try edible: Maine lobster roll, Geor-gia peach pie, Florida’s conch chowder. In Hawai‘i, it’s shave ice. But make sure you don’t put a “d” at the end of “shave,” or you’ll be immediately identified as a mea kipa (traveler). And do remember…shave ice is not the same as a snow cone. By any means.

Shave ice’s origin is in Japan, where it’s called kakigori, and has been in existence since the 11th century when

frozen blocks of ice from lakes were preserved in the winter, then

finely shaved and served with sweet syrup to Japanese

aristocracy in the sum-mer. Once ice became

widely available in the 19th century, kakigori was introduced to the general public. Nowadays, kak-igori is sold virtually everywhere in Japan during the hot sum-

mer months. Although using electric shavers

is now the technique of choice, many Japanese

street vendors still hand shave blocks of ice to produce kakigori.

In fact, it was Japa-nese laborers, imported to Hawai‘i in the mid-1800s to work on the burgeoning sugarcane plantations, who introduced their traditional dessert to the Islands. During their breaks, these workers carefully shaved ice off a large block with their machetes and drenched it with cane syrup or fruit juice, for a cool respite from the relentless sun. Once these Japanese immigrants began moving away from plantation life, many established family-owned grocery stores and snack shops offering, among other things, shave ice.

The reason there’s no “d” on “shave” also dates back to the plantation era. Out of a need for so many different cultures to communicate with one another, Hawaiian Creole English (a.k.a. Hawaiian Pidgin) emerged as a common language that’s still spoken today in the Islands. One of the characteristics of Ha-waiian Creole is the dropping of “superfluous” letters and even syllables. In addition to “shave ice,” while visiting Hawai‘i you’ll also see other examples like “smoke meat.”

There are myriad flavors to choose from when ordering shave ice. You can select just one, or try a combination (usually up to three). Popular tropical essences are coconut, guava, liliko‘i (passion fruit), lychee, and mango. For an extra kick of sweet-ness, try a scoop of ice cream or azuki (sweet red bean) paste at the bottom. And that drizzle of sweetened condensed milk on top? It’s called a “snow cap,” and it’s quite simply divine.

DISCONNECT FROM THE WORLD1 KE‘E This is the end of the road, literally. The last beach

accessible by car on the north shore, Ke‘e’s gentle ocean lagoon is

best enjoyed in the calm ocean conditions of the summer. The

lagoon is protected from waves by reefs which provide good

snorkeling during these seasonal calms. A view of the entire Napali

coast stretches westward from this point. Parking is limited and

requires a parking pass. For parking reservations visit: https://dlnr.

hawaii.gov/dsp/parks/kauai/haena-state-park/

CAMP WITH THE FAMILY2 SALT POND COUNTY BEACH PARK This kid-friendly

beach has a protected swimming area, great facilities, lifeguards,

and consistently warm, sunny weather. Lele Road past mile marker

17 in Hanapepe.

PICNIC AT SUNSET3 PO‘IPU BEACH PARK This south shore hub has large

grassy lawns, dependable sun, lifeguards, great snorkeling, and

frequent turtle, whale and monk seal sightings. Ho‘owili Road in

Po‘ipu.

WALK AND EXPLORE4 MAHA‘ULEPU Remote and undeveloped, this unspoiled

strip of coastline has a timeless, untamed feel. Swimming can be

dangerous, and there are no lifeguards or facilities, just solitude,

wilderness, and countless beach treasures. Past the Hyatt, it’s 2

miles on a dirt cane field road which dead ends.

SIMPLY LOUNGE & SWIM5 KALAPAKI BEACH Lying on the southeastern coastline

of Kaua‘i, Kalapaki Beach is renowned for its ideal swimming con-

ditions. With its white sand and gentle water this beach is popular

among families, and volleyball games, sunbathing and building

sandcastles await you. Located 2 miles south of the Lihu‘e airport

on Rice Street.

MAKE YOUR KIDS HAPPY6 LYDGATE BEACH Keiki (kid) heaven, with two amazing play

structures, soccer fields, a bike path, enclosed swimming ponds,

lifeguards, and great snorkeling. Your kids will love you for bringing

them here. Follow signs towards the sea on Kuhio Highway

between mile markers 5 and 6.

SOAK UP THE LOCAL CULTURE7 KEALIA This is a popular spot for locals to catch some

waves, have a barbeque or bonfire, or just cruise the beach. There

are several pavilions for picnics, and a wonderful pedestrian and

bike path. This is also an amazing spot to watch the moon rise.

Kealia is off Kuhio Hwy., just north of Kapa‘a at mile marker 10.

PEOPLE WATCH8 HANALEI BAY A dramatic horseshoe shaped bay, ringed by

towering, electric green mountains, Hanalei Bay is the perfect

beach to watch surfers, boogie boarders, kayakers, stand-up

paddlers, sailors, walkers, volleyball players, sun worshippers,

sunset weddings, and anything else you might imagine. Just

observe, or jump on in! Off Weke Road in Hanalei.

SPY ON SEA CREATURES9 TUNNELS The reef here is home to a huge array of marine

life. Snorkelers will enjoy a vast array of colorful fish, sea creatures,

and turtles. Experienced divers can explore caves and lava tubes.

No lifeguards, and conditions may be dangerous, especially in the

winter months. Parking is limited and requires a parking pass. For

parking reservations visit: https://dlnr.hawaii.gov/dsp/parks/kauai/

haena-state-park/

There are numerous snorkel, surf, and miscellaneous beach gear rentals, along with all water sports instructions, available around the island. Enjoy a fabulous day at the beach, Kaua‘i style!

*We do not recommend swimming at any beaches without lifeguards.

For locations, see corresponding numbers on page 10 map.

13BeachesKaua‘i offers dozens of stunning beaches that vary from wildly popular to remote and secluded. They feature pounding surf, calm lagoons and everything in between. Whether you want a grand adventure or a relaxing escape, Kaua‘i has the beach for you.

You’re never more than an hour or so drive from a course on Kaua‘i, regardless of where you’re staying, and every one of them is worth the trip. Even the elite courses are more affordable than you will find in many locations that don’t come with the word “paradise” in the description. The following list begins on the North Shore and continues clockwise around the island.

65

Makai Golf Club – Princeville (808) 826-1912Architect: Robert Trent Jones, Jr.The Makai is one of the most visually attractive courses on the is-land. Several holes play atop bluffs, with the Napali coastline visible to the west. Come back in the evening to take the sunset tour for some spectacular photos.

Wailua Golf Course – Wailua (808) 241-6666Architect: Toyo ShiraiThis county-owned course is a local favorite and offers some of the most affordable golf on the island. The combination of parkland golf with trade wind-swept ocean holes makes Wailua a delight to play.

The Ocean Course at Hokuala – Lihu‘e (808) 241-6000Architect: Jack NicklausThe island’s lone Jack Nicklaus signature design features the lon-gest stretch of continuous oceanfront holes on Kaua‘i. It successfully balances the playability needs of a resort course with the challenge of a championship layout.

Puakea Golf Course – Lihu‘e (808) 245-8756Architect: Robin NelsonWhile Puakea does not have access to dramatic ocean views, it does feature picturesque mountain backdrops and an entertaining design. The scoring ability and generally good course conditions make this an excellent mid-priced value.

Po‘ipu Bay Golf Course – Koloa (808) 742-8711Architect: Robert Trent Jones, Jr.The premier resort course on the sunny South Shore, Po‘ipu Bay hosted the PGA Grand Slam of Golf from 1994-2006. Scoring condi-tions are challenging enough for good players while retaining an enjoyable resort setup for everyday players.

Kiahuna Golf Club – Po‘ipu (808) 742-9595Architect: Robert Trent Jones, Jr.The oldest course on the South Shore is a low-key, daily fee opera-tion that is a favorite of local residents. The regulars refer to Kiahuna as “18 holes of aloha,” and the course lives up to its Hawaiian name that means “special place.”

Kukuiolono Park Golf Course – Kalaheo (808) 332-9151Architect: Walter D. McBryde The “Nine-holer,” as it’s commonly called, features the lowest pric-es on the island with nicer conditions than you might expect. Some of the views overlooking the South Shore far below are fantastic. Wind and difficult greens are the course’s primary defenses.

THE HUMBLE PINEAPPLEAMBASSADOR OF FRIENDSHIP & HOSPITALITY

by Heidi Pool

Rich, fertile volcanic soil, rainfall and sunshine aplenty, plus a mild sub-tropical climate made the Hawaiian Islands ideal for growing pineapple.

The humble pineapple, which is neither a pine nor an apple, nor is it indigenous to the Islands, is recognized worldwide as the symbol of Hawai‘i. It’s also regarded internationally as an expression of friend-ship and hospitality.

Horticulturist John Kidwell is credited with introducing the concept of growing pineapples in Hawai‘i as an industry in the late 1800s. One of the most famous and influential pineapple industrialists was James

Dole, who started his pineapple plantation on O‘ahu in 1900. Del Monte began growing pineapples, also

on O‘ahu, in 1917. The first pineapple company on the island of Kaua‘i, Kaua‘i Fruit & Land Co., was established in 1906, and Maui Pineapple Company began pineapple cultivation on the island of Maui in 1909. In a bold move, James Dole bought the tiny island of Lana‘i in 1922, and developed a large portion of it into the world’s largest pineapple plantation, earning this diminutive land mass its former nickname: “The Pineapple Isle.” In its mid-twentieth-century heyday, Hawai‘i’s pineapple industry consisted of eight companies em-ploying approximately 3,000 workers.

PINEAPPLE IN PERILThe pineapple industry in Hawai‘i prospered

until, just as with sugarcane, foreign competi-tion and high labor costs took their toll. Most

smaller pineapple companies in the state closed in the

late 1960s and early ‘70s, and even Dole and Del Monte packed up their operations and

moved overseas in the 1980s, leaving only Maui

Pineapple Company, which held on until 2009.

Today, Maui Gold Pineapple Company and Hawaiian Crown on Oahu and Big Island are the only two companies in the state producing locally grown

pineapples, with a focus on quality rather than quantity.

REGIONSKaua‘i is separated into five major regions:North Shore, East Side, Lihu‘e, South Shore and West Side. Each region is diverse with its own personality and geography.

HISTORYNavigating by the stars, intrepid Polynesians (believed to have originated in the Marquesas Islands) first arrived in the Hawaiian Islands sometime between 400—500 A.D. The island of Hawai‘i (known also as Big Island) was the first island inhabited, but over the ensuing years these early explorers settled on the other major Hawaiian Islands.

Western contact occurred in 1778, when British explorer Captain James Cook discovered Hawai‘i, and gave them the name “Sandwich Isles” (after the Earl of Sandwich). Hawaiian King Kamehameha united all of the islands under his rule. The Hawaiian monarchy was forcefully overthrown in 1893 by businessmen and sugar planters. Two years after the coup, the islands of Hawai‘i were annexed by the United States. In 1959 Hawai‘i became the 50th state.
