Breakfast

The bialys and bagels here are so good! This is the best breakfast place near Princeville. The short drive is worth it, and it’s easy to pop over for great views at the Kilauea Lighthouse afterwards.

Unique

This is something you can’t get anywhere else
These donuts are made with locally grown taro roots, and they are an artisan miracle. Every style is so good, with balanced, surprising, and fun varieties. Only open weekend mornings.

Surfing

This sandy-bottomed beach is a great place to surf, particularly in the winter when the swell is up. The backdrop of lush mountains and waterfalls make this one of the most scenic beaches on Kauai.

Romantic

Nanea is the Westin's high-end restaurant. Beautiful, romantic, and just two blocks from Mauna Kai, this is a great spot for an elegant evening.

Music

Tiki Aniki is a moderate walk or short drive away in Princeville center. Great place to enjoy live music and drinks in a casual setting. This is a local favorite and you can stroll over to Piazza for dinner afterwards.
