East Side

East Kauai is known as the Coconut Coast and where the majority of the population lives. Thousands of coconut trees, planted a century ago, fill the area. The trees were planted by German entrepreneur who planned on starting a coconut empire from dried coconuts. However, the venture was not successful, but the stately trees still stand as a tribute to his attempt.
