only been to kauai once a few years ago, but if memory serves...north end has some nice beaches, drive as far west as you can along the north coast to see them.south end has some awesome hotels and resorts, you can see them and drink in the poolside bars, you don't have to be a guest, they also provide public parking and beach access. There are some deserted beaches near the resorts, you have to drive down some dirt roads to get to them, a guide book like lonely planet is helpful to find places like this. west of here find waimea canyon which is worth a look and barking sands, another beach which was virtually deserted when i was there. kauai has great hiking, and if you want to spend some money, a helicopter flight is worth it, the scenery is insane. rent a car and drive around, see the island. have a great time.
