For a quick, fresh, and healthy snack on Kauai’s west side, Coconut Corner in Waimea is an excellent choice and my personal favorite go-to spot. This locally owned gem, run by women, is ideal for rejuvenating after the Na Pali Coast Boat Tour or a hike through Waimea Canyon. Coconut Corner is known for their amazing fruit smoothies and shakes in countless flavorful combinations- my personal favorite is the mango-passionfruit shake.

Coconut Corner – we almost didn’t stop at this spot on the west side of the island in Kekaha as the reviews were really varied. But the chilled coconuts were the best at this stand and we had fun trying such fresh fruit for so little!.
