Hanapepe Salt Ponds is a peaceful place to take a break. Enjoy a picnic lunch, toss a Frisbee around or just lie on the grass and shut your eyes for a while.

This recreation and green space is on the to-do lists of many travelers to Eleele. But Hanapepe Salt Ponds isn't the area's only highlight. Waimea Bay Beach, Kauai Coffee Company, and Russian Fort Elizabeth State Historical Park are some other worthwhile attractions nearby.

9/10 Wonderful! (1,110 reviews)

Interesting place with a vibe that’s a little more like old school Hawaii. A little bit retro. Agent wear or a little bit visible. I could see some mold on the caulking in wet areas. Despite any of this I like the place in the feeling that I got there. It does not have the feeling of a generic corporate hotel.
