4. Hanalei, Hawaii
If you’re looking to get away from tourists in Hawaii, you’ll have to head to one of the smaller towns, like Hanalei. This underrated gem can be found on the island of Kauai, sheltered within Hanalei Bay. There’s great surfing, and a gorgeous public beach right outside of the main town center.
After you’re done on the water for the day, head to town to peruse the many popular food trucks, like Wishing Well Shave Ice – a bustling location that offers all-natural shave ice bowls, acai bowls and smoothies, and excellent local coffee. Even though it was hit by record-breaking floods in April 2017, the town is quickly recovering and welcomes tourists with open arms.
