Guidebook for Kilauea
Kilauea Bakery
What a great place to get coffee and a morning pastry after a run to the Kilauea Lighthouse! Okay, I don't run anymore, but this is my daughter's ritual when she is here. Great baked goods!
Actually called Lighthouse Bistro. Walking distance from the house. Excellent food, artistically served. For Kauai, this restaurant is a good value. Open air setting. Most reasonable Happy Hour prices on the island.

Long drive from Kilauea, but if you are down there, this is a fun restaurant. They know how to do fish right here. Someone said it was like Gilligan's Island.

Our favorite family beach! 2.8 miles from the house. So easy to have a sunset BBQ here. Park under the ironwood trees, and walk a few feet to the water. Porta-potties. Great for boogie boarding.

It takes all day to get to Koke'e, but if you have not done it, do it! At the lodge, we love the chili and the lilikoi chiffon pie. Feed the chickens. Drive up to the Kalalau lookout. Awesome view.

Love this trail to the top of the mountain. Beautiful top of the world views. Not recommended if you are afraid of heights. Make sure to take the East Trail which is much more pleasant than the hot, dry West Trail. Only 8 parking spaces.
