Hawaii has more than 1,000 miles of shoreline, so one could land pretty much anywhere and set off on a gorgeous coastal hike. Kauai’s coastline is particularly stunning, though. One of the best walks on the “Garden Isle” is the Kalalau Trail, an 11-mile trek along the northern Nāpali Coast, a designated wilderness area and part of the Hawaii State Parks system. It’s the only way to explore the area, in fact, running from Ke’e to Kalalau Beach via dramatic sea cliffs and verdant valleys.
