Royal Coconut Coast

About

The Royal Coconut Coast is the designation given to Kauai’s east side, defined as the area between the Wailua Golf Course, heading north along the coast to Kealia Beach, and extending inland toward the center of the island, to Mount Waialeale. The Royal Coconut Coast includes the sacred Wailua River area and the large towns of Wailua and Kapaa. The area's name derives from the acres of coconut trees along the coast and highway. It also has many places of historical and cultural significance. Some of the land is held as sacred and was once reserved for the royalty of Hawaii.

The Royal Coconut Coast is a diverse and popular area due to its central location on Kauai. It appeals to both residents and visitors, with a solid concentration of hotels and attractions. Many of Kauai's lodging properties are in this area, and it has many popular beaches, parks, restaurants, shopping centers, hiking and biking trails, and general services.
