About Hanalei Bay
Hanalei Bay is a wide, curved bay on the north shore of Kauai, Hawaii, beside the town of Hanalei and below green mountains that are often wrapped in cloud. A pier stands at its eastern end and the Hanalei River meets the sea nearby. Surf breaks at several places around the bay, and the stretch usually called Pine Trees, towards the west, is one of the best known. The biggest waves typically arrive in the northern winter, most often from around November to March, when swells reach the island from the North Pacific. In the calmer summer months the bay is generally flat and is used for swimming and paddling, which is why it is also known as a family beach. The bay is widely regarded as one of the most photographed places in Hawaii.
