This dramatic coastline, located on the north shore of Kaua‘i, is known for its razor-sharp ridges, hidden valleys, and sea caves—accessible only by boat, kayak, or helicopter. It’s no wonder filmmakers chose this wild terrain as a backdrop for Jurassic Park: the opening flyover of Isla Nublar and several jungle scenes.
