Ask the Big Kahuna
Response: Aloha Brian, I see cold Pennsylvania has not chilled your ardor for your lucky bride of 25 years. You could charter a boat or helicopter to take you to the remote Na Pali coast and drop you off near enough to swim to one of its uninhabited beaches. If you choose this option, visit: Kauai Activities on the Water Providers or Kauai Helicopter Tour Providers for a list of the best boating and helicopter companies available. However, what few people realize is that many of Kauai's beaches, even those easily accessible by car, are never crowded. If you add to that the beaches accessible only by foot, I can pretty much guarantee that you will have a beach virtually all to yourself. Let's do the math: there are about 1.1 million visitors to Kauai each year or about 3,014 per day on average. If you assume that there are about 60 beaches on Kauai (per The Ultimate Kauai Guidebook bestbookshawaii.com) with every single one of those people going to the beach, that means about 50 people on a beach each day. With 12 hours of daylight, those 50 people spread out to about 4 people on any beach in any one hour. Now, you know some of those beaches, like the ones in Poipu and Lydgate (Kapaa) and Hanalei Bay are going to be a bigger draw, and some visitors will be doing other things, so inevitably there will be beaches that are nearly deserted. If you absolutely press me, I'll suggest Queen's Bath on the North Shore, Donkey Beach on the East Side, and Polihale on the West Side. But any beach you choose on Kauai could provide that special place for that special moment. Happy Anniversary,   Explore more answers from the Big Kahuna...Do you have a question for the Big Kahuna?
