It is also the only Hawaiian island with navigable rivers. Hanapepe Town, west of Koloa, is known as a center of the art scene in Kaua’i and has more art galleries than any other community on the island. In addition to natural beauty and relatively calm waters, Poipu is frequented by a wide variety of marine life, including humpback whales, green sea turtles, and endangered Hawaiian monk seals.

Check out the ‘Hanapepe Swinging Bridge’ as well as the galleries, shops, and restaurants, especially during Friday evening’s Art Night. Beyond the canyon lies beautiful Kokee State Park, a realm of lofty cliffs adorned with the emerald splendors of native forests. This is also the place to come for ukulele concerts, held at the Hanalei Community Center.

A typical 60-minute helicopter tour of Kauai usually costs between $200 to $300 per person, with discounts available during off-peak seasons. Regis Princeville Resort

Kauai Grill provides the magnificent backdrop for the inspiration of Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s French and Asian influenced cuisine.

Another cool thing that sets this apart from other gay beaches? Further along you’ll come to the high-end resort town of Princeville, and then Hanalei Town, where you’ll find art galleries, shopping and dining, as well as the historic Waioli Mission House.

But, it still sees lots of gay travelers out enjoying the scenery. Nearby are shops, restaurants, resorts, and golf courses. This area has excellent dining options, recreational activities such as golfing, spa experiences, and beach relaxation opportunities, catering to a variety of interests.

For those looking for activities from shopping to culinary experiences, Poipu offers vibrant options such as RumFire Poipu Beach and the open-air retail experience at Kukui’ula Village Shopping Center.

This beach has lifeguards and showers, and the most popular area for gay patrons is between the golf course and the condos.

Discovering Gay Beaches in Hawaii

Although ALL beaches in the Aloha State welcome gay patrons, these Hawaii gay beaches are places known to be gay-friendly and accepting — just like most of the people who live here.

Lihue, in the southeast of the island, is center of government and commerce, site of both Lihue Airport and Nawiliwili Harbor, the major air and sea hubs of Kaua’i. The famed Waimea Canyon, known as the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific,” offers expansive views and impressive landscapes.

Spinner dolphins often swim not far offshore. 

  • Waialea Beach (Beach 69): The name probably makes this beach sound a little more enticing than it actually is. Inland, north of Waimea, is the gorgeous Waimea Canyon, known as the ‘Grand Canyon of the Pacific.’ Though not as large or as ancient as Arizona’s Grand Canyon, Waimea Canyon presents 14 miles of extraordinary vistas unlike anything else in Hawai’i.

    It’s also quite famous: the massive tubes at Ehukai Beach Park make this one of the most dangerous surf spots in the world and one of the venues for the Triple Crown of Surfing. There is no automobile access to these cliffs; you’ll either have to rough it with a long and arduous hike, or take an air or boat tour.

    South Shore, to the south and west of Lihue, is known for beautiful Poipu Beach Park.

    Lihue also boasts excellent beaches, scenic waterfalls, and a great deal of local history. It’s a small strip of beach that’s littered with boulders between which sunbathers can camp out.
