North shore - Kauai

On Kauai's north shore you'll discover some of the most spectacular scenery on the planet. There's the Na Pali Coast,whose cliffs rise 4,000 feet above the ocean. And Lumahai Beach, where Mitzi Gaynor 'washed that man right out of her hair' in the movie South Pacific. The north shore also is home to the quaint town of Hanalei, one of the earliest areas to be settled by the ancient Pacific voyagers. (from:http://www.kauai-hawaii.com/areas.php?areas_id=1)
