my wife and I went to dinner at the Princeville resort - overlooking Hanalei bay. It is the most heart-stoppingly beautiful place I have ever seen.
you want to be there late afternoon, have a glass of wine, have the food come just as the sun sets.
You'd have to go on a day when it is not raining.
We traveled all over Kauai and the Hanalei bay is gorgeous, and just south of it is the beach where they filmed SOUTH PACIFIC.
I'm a fanatic swimmer so to me the main thing is "places where I can swim a mile up the coast while seeing fish, reefs, and underwater canyons," but I do occasionally get excited about the beauty on land. I grew up in Malibu and have done a bit of of travel to the beauty spots of the world, but Kauai is beyond beautiful into heaven on earth.
this site looks good for an overview
