Vogue magazine has called Hanalei "the hippest town on Kauai" and it does have a lot going on from sailing to boogie boarding. Hanalei Bay is a north shore beach destination which means wilder waves, especially in winter. One reason Vogue noted was the food truck scene, which hopefully is now benefiting the four beaches which ring the bay. The scenery here is dramatic and while the beaches are anything but secluded, it's definitely a highlight of any trip to Kauai.
