About Royal Coconut Coast

Royal Coconut Coast is a beach located in Hawaii, United States. It is near Wailua Beach, which is 0.46 miles away. The nearest town is Wailua village, located 0.33 miles from the beach.

From Wikipedia

The Royal Coconut Coast is the designation given to Kauai’s east side, defined as the area between the Wailua Golf Course, heading north along the coast to Kealia Beach, and extending inland toward the center of the island, to Mount Waialeale. The Royal Coconut Coast includes the sacred Wailua River area and the large towns of Wailua and Kapaa. The area's name derives from the acres of coconut trees along the coast and highway. It also has many places of historical and cultural significance. Some of the land is held as sacred and was once reserved for the royalty of Hawaii.
