A visit to Hanalei Beach likely also means an encounter with red-crested cardinals. The water at the beach is so refreshing and this cardinal who now calls many of the Hawaiian islands as its second home is originally from South America. Also known as the Brazilian Cardinal, differences from the more well known cardinal include their grey wings and white underbelly.

On our first full day on the island of Kauai, we visited two different beaches - Pu'u Poa Beach and Hanalei Beach. Although these two beaches were starkly different from one another, they each had their own unique charm. We did enjoy the water at Hanalei, but also had fun watching the beautiful red-crested cardinals hop (and fly) around us.
