Aloha Surf Cam is located at Kuhio Shores and overlooks the popular surf breaks PK's and Centers on the south side of Kauai. Lately the waves are small as the bigger winter swells are wrapping around the North Shore of the island, however, this makes the bay in front of the Beach House restaurant ideal for swimming, snorkeling and stand up paddle boarding. Witness a beautiful island sunset every night.

The O'Connell Family opened The Wine Shop in  December of 2006 in the heart of Koloa Town on Kauai. Their vision for the shop was simply to provide an amazing assortment of wines to guests and residents on the Southside of the island. Over the last 8 years the store has evolved expanding its offerings to include wine, champagne, spirits, beer, gourmet items and gift baskets, as well as a place to get your marriage license.
The shop's friendly and knowledgeable staff, the husband and wife team of Dan and Ellen O'Connell are prepared to help you find the perfect choice to please your palate and pocketbook. Whether you are dropping in for an old favorite, putting together the perfect picnic basket, shopping for a special occasion, or simply rounding out your gourmet pantry, The Wine Shop has it all.
The Wine Shop is open 10am to 7pm Monday thru Saturday.
The Wine Shop hosts a monthly wine tasting the first Saturday of each month from 5-7 pm.
For some great W.O.W. DanO (words of wisdom from shop owner DanO) like them on Facebook and enjoy informative clips on everything from the differences in wineglasses to tequilas!

This majestic, 80-foot double tiered waterfall is located on the east side of Kauai. The falls was made famous when it was featured in the opening scene of the popular television show, Fanasty Island. The falls can dramatically change appearance depending on rain and the river's flow. The best time to view this spectacular site is early morning as the sun shines on the falls. The brave and sure-footed can can take a slippery trail down to the bottom of the falls and take a dip in the cool, mountain water.
