Each geographic area of Kauai is unique in climate and life style. People will have different opinions about the strengths and weaknesses of an area, and attractiveness to live or visit, but a general summary follows.

Poipu is the second major tourism center after the North Shore, and home to the beautiful Grand Hyatt Resort. There are many fine homes and condos there, plus art galleries, restaurants, and shops. The Poipu Bay Golf Club is a popular course. In general it is much windier here with choppy surf, but there are many fine beaches also. It is much drier here, with cactus plants, and much less green.

Monthly rainfall 3-4"

Something for Everyone

Kauai is the island where people who live in the state of Hawaii go to vacation, and most think it is the best island to live on. And remember, as a resident of Hawaii, you are a kama'aina, a local. As such, you get big discounts on hotels and airfare (For instance, round trip air fares to other islands start as low as $98, and most hotels are half the regular price).
