Day 8 - Kauai: Ke'e Beach, Queen's Bath, and Bubba

Day 8 – Monday, September 6 – We drove up the eastern and northern coasts of Kauai today making several stops along the way including the Kilauea Lighthouse and Secret Beach. We sat on Ke’e Beach which is the last beach on the northern shore before the NaPali Coast.  The beach was very crowded but was good for swimming.

We ate lunch at Bubba Burger in Hanalei Bay and just missed Shaun White, the Olympic Snowboarder, and Robert Downey, Jr.  On our way back to Poipu we stopped at the stunning Queen’s Bath.  Similar to the lava pools in Maui, Queen’s Bath is a natural pool that’s formed when lava rocks create a barrier from the ocean. Queen’s Bath was about 6 feet deep and very warm. It was probably our favorite stop on our the Eastern/Northern shore so peaceful and absolutely stunning. 

For dinner we went to the Beach House in Poipu.  The restaurant is the only place on Kauai’s southern shore where you can view the sunset and it was gorgeous.
