Description
Hanapepe is one of the only towns in Kauai that was not associated with a sugar plantation; built by Chinese immigrants in the 1800s, it gained a bit of notoriety as a spot to brawl and to booze it up. These days, the town is much quieter. After Hurricane Iniki hit Kauai in 1992, a small decline started from which Hanapepe has never really recovered. However, it is still well worth visiting due to its unique swinging footbridge, its various arts and crafts shops, and its spectacular view of the valley at the Hanapepe Valley Lookout Point.
