K\u012blauea is a quaint, charming town located on the gorgeous North Shore of the Garden Isle. This humble community is the ethnically diverse, thriving place it has become due to its beginnings as a sugar cane plantation. The K\u012blauea Sugar Plantation developed in the late-1800s; the town grew along with its operations and workers migrated from countries as far as Portugal and Japan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Kong Lung Historic Market Center<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

There are still many buildings that exist in K\u012blauea that were constructed during this period such as the Kong Lung Historic Market Center which now serves as the site of several local businesses like Island Soap and Candle Works and food establishments including the Lighthouse Bistro.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Daniel K. Inouye K\u012blauea Point Lighthouse is also a historic treasure that was built in the 1900s to help sailors find their way to the small town in order to deliver supplies. Now, the lighthouse sits within the K\u012blauea Point National Wildlife Refuge which was established in the 1980s to help protect Kaua\u2018i\u2019s magnificent population of seabirds that nest along the cliffs of this northernmost point of the island. This is one of people\u2019s favorite stops while visiting K\u012blauea, not only because of the recently renovated lighthouse, but because hundreds of native birds can be observed dancing in the air and spectacular scenic beauty abounds.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Kilauea Beaches<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Some of the island\u2019s most exclusive, though not most swimmable, beaches like Kauapea (Secret\u2019s Beach) and Ka\u2018aka\u2018aniu (Larsen\u2019s Beach) exist in K\u012blauea.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This town was also once the location of the state\u2019s largest guava plantation. The business closed in 2007 and land owners have since turned some of the acreage into an alluring path called the Wai Koa Loop Trail and have developed Kaua\u2018i Mini Golf within the same area, which is an activity that takes people through the botanical timeline of the island while enjoying a round of miniature golf.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Well Worth the Stop<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

There is so much to experience in this small town and it is well worth a stop while visiting the majestic North Shore of Kaua\u2018i.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
