Kekaha Kauai Hawaii
Kekaha is the last town westward along Highway 50. It is a collection of rural neighborhoods sewn together with a mini-mart, a neighborhood center, and a school. Stretched out in near-constant sunshine, the town sits at the base of Waimea Canyon. If it's raining everywhere else on Kauai, chances are it’s dry and hot in Kekaha. Residents enjoy a laid-back atmosphere with pristine beaches, enchanting views and a small-town lifestyle.
Surfers and fishermen, family gatherings and pau hana (end of the workday) celebrations head to McArthur Beach, the last lifeguarded beach on the west side, complete with a picnic area and bathrooms.
Polihale State Park attracts adventurers from around the globe and extends from the border of PMRF to the cliffs that mark the beginning of Na Pali Coast State Wilderness Park. A dirt road leads to the longest white sand beach in the state along with views of Ni’ihau, and it’s neighbor island Lehua.

In the second video as part of our Travel Itinerary Challenge series, we explore Kauai, Hawaii in 4 days and try our best to eat, see, and do as many things as possible based on a prepared itinerary list!
~~~~~~
If this is your first time viewing our videos, welcome and thank you! For some background about this series:
For our first ever visit to the State of Hawaii, we embarked on a 4-island hopping adventure! After visiting Oahu, we spent 4 days exploring Kauai, also known as the Garden Island.
( In cased you missed the Oahu Itinerary Challenge video, check it out here )
With this trip to Hawaii, we wanted to chronicle our adventures visiting 4 different islands in a new Travel Itinerary Challenge Series to share our experience doing, eating, and seeing a number of attractions in a set amount of time.
In our years traveling together, we found our travel style involves cramming as many things into an itinerary as our body can handle. We plan a rough itinerary or list of things we want to do, see, and eat at our destination.
Below is the original itinerary we set out to complete. In our Itinerary Challenge Series, we will see how close we get to checking off each item on our list.

*We were informed by a viewer, Dionys Murphy, that the name locals give to Kalepa Ridge Trail is Pig Trail through the Gate.
***An eagle eyed viewer informed us that we have misspelled the name of Maui at 21:20. We incorrectly wrote Mauai instead of Maui. Apologies for the spelling error. ***
