Nawiliwili Bay, on Kauai's southeast coast, is a historic harbor with a rich cultural heritage. Once a central hub for fishermen and taro farmers, the bay gained prominence as a safe harbor in the 1930s thanks to the vision of sugar baron George Wilcox.

Today, Nawiliwili serves as a gateway to exploring Kauai. The nearby Kalapaki Beach offers a variety of water activities, from swimming and paddleboarding to boogie boarding. Immerse yourself in Hawaiian culture by purchasing a Niihau shell lei, a handcrafted treasure from the private island of Niihau.

For evening entertainment, the Nawiliwili Tavern offers a lively atmosphere with games, karaoke, and dancing. This local hotspot is a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the island spirit.
