Holy shit.

Fly to Kauai. Go here about 60-90 minutes prior to sunset. Thank me later.

Straight out of a movie. There really isn't much to say about. You can get an idea from the pics.

At the end of the main road in Kauai ... driving north ... you arrive at a state park/beach. This is Haena. It's pretty much the start of the Na Pali coastline in the NW portion of the island. Its gorgeous. Its about a 20 minute drive from Hanalei bay and if you time it right you can hit the sunset - which is what I did. Once the sun was just about to go below the mountains in Hanalei, I drove right to the park. I made it there with about 30 minutes to spare and had some time to do a short hike over some lava rocks to a point where I witnessed the sunset sitting on a rock.

Perfect.

Local burger joint in Hanalei. Very popular.

Got the double burger made their way. It hit the spot.

One of the guests at the wedding I photographed, a Kauai local, was playing at this popular bar/restaurant so I stopped in to say hi to my clients and their friends.

This was also where they filmed a portion of the movie The Descendants.
