Hanalei Bay

Hanalei Bay

Hanalei Bay is the largest bay on the North Shore of Kaua'i in Hawai'i. The town of Hanalei is at the mid-point of the bay.

Hanalei Bay consists of nearly two miles of beach, surrounded by the beautiful mountains behind them. In the summer, the bay is like glass, offering excellent moorage for sailboats, snorkeling, and swimming. The Princeville Resort overlooks from the northeast entrance to the bay. Many boats use Hanalei Bay as a departure point for summertime excursions along the Na Pali Coast. However, the surf is much too large in the winter to accommodate regular boat access to the beaches.

Japanese author Haruki Murakami wrote a short story entitled "Hanalei Bay" set in the area. The story is included in the collection Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman.
