Explore Kauai’s Scenic North Shore: A Complete Driving Guide
Driving north from Kapaa on Highway 56, you’ll enter the Anahola area of Kauai. If you don’t see a town center, it’s because there isn’t one. Much of the land here is designated for those of Hawaiian descent. As you pass mile marker 14, glance at the mountain to your left, known as Kalalea Mountain. The second peak from the left bears a resemblance to a shark’s fin and has been referred to as both Mano (Shark) Mountain and King Kong’s Profile due to its likeness to the famous ape.
