Kapaa is a small village on the stunning island of Kauai sitting at the foot of Nounou Mountain - the "sleeping giant".

This tourist friendly village offers an unforgettable vacation and is the perfect place for a family holiday, an escape with friends, or a romantic getaway with glorious beaches and plenty to see and do.

As a vacation hot spot, Kapaa is also home to some gorgeous beach front property where you can rent a villa or condo knowing that all the local amenities such as the Kinipopo shopping centre are close by.

Kapaa Nightlife

Given that Kapaa is one of the busy tourist hubs on the island, there is not that much in the way of evening entertainment outside of the luxury hotel resorts. One of the most popular bars and restaurants is Trees Lounge which has live music most evenings.

But, people don't come to Kauai for late night partying - its more about the feeling of being on one of the most beautiful islands on the planet. As the sun sets, the best place to experience authentic Kauai nightlife in Kapaa is to make camp at one of the beach bars and restaurants, listen to live music, watch the waves tumble in and dine under the stars.

Kapaa Beaches

The white sandy Kapaa Beach on the east side of the town is easily accessible and is good for strolling and biking along the flanking path. However, even during the summer months when the reef protects the lagoon from the large swells, its not advisable to swim here due to the strong currents.

Next door to Kapaa beach is Fuji and Baby beach which has a protected area and is safe for swimming. This is where most people head to to do and where most of the watersports activities are based.

Kapaa Vacation Rentals

Like most places in Kauai, the accommodation options in and around Kapaa cater for all budgets and tastes.

Experience the very best of Kapaa by staying in a vacation rental. Many holiday homes are condos set within touching distance of the palm fringed beaches and local amenities and typically come with all the modern refinements.
