When considering purchasing Kauai real estate, there are some areas that are just downright beautiful to the point that it can be hard to choose where to buy. But, depending on what type of scenery you love, you can narrow down your choices until you find that perfect spot. Here are six beautiful places in Kauai for you to enjoy:

The Alakai Wilderness Preserve: This area of Kauai sounds like the last place heaven would be, yet it is precisely what paradise is to many people. Although the locals refer to it as ‘Alaka’i swamp’ it is not a swamp, but a natural preserve of bog land. These bogs are great to hike at any time, and were created by their proximity to Mount Wai’ale’ale, which is one of the wettest places on earth. If you enjoy nature then this is a great place to explore and ‘discover’ for yourself the rare plants and birds that live here.

Hanalei Bay: Those that are looking for tropical Kauai real estate need look no further than Hanalei Bay. This is the biggest bay that lies on the island and is located on the North Shore. With over two beautiful miles of soft, sandy beaches for you to enjoy, you will love the green mountain backdrop that surrounds the area. And, with the beautiful town of Hanalei right in the middle of the area, you’ll find some of the most gorgeous real estate in the world.

Ke’e Beach: One of the island’s most beautiful beaches, Ke’e Beach is only reached by a foot path into the Na Pali coastline. You’ll find a beautiful, shallow beach here where there is little current and very few waves. For those with families, this is a wonderful place to spend the day with the kids, swimming and snorkeling in the clear blue water. There are some absolutely beautiful patches of land around the area, and you can easily find a Realtor to help you purchase property near this beautiful beach.

You will go a long way to find better scenery and a better range of river activities to enjoy.

Waimea Canyon State Park: No matter if you love the Grand Canyon or not, you will love Waimea Canyon. Made by a massive volcano, the canyon was formed from runoff water over millions of years. The best part is that the canyon is beautifully green year round, so you can always enjoy the breathtaking views, no matter which area of the canyon you are on.
