The Kapaʻa thank you cards, for the town that is the working town of the Royal Coconut Coast. Thick-stock cards with the Kapaʻa vintage retro logo on the front in black, blank inside, envelopes included.

For the note after the weekend visit, the wedding, the graduation or the holidays: thanks that says where it came from. Choose the size, the finish and the count, and keep a box in the drawer so the note goes out the same week.

Our retro logo design on premium thick 270gsm card stock makes these thank you cards feel smooth and substantial. Pick a matte, uncoated, or coated finish, one of two convenient sizes, and the count pack that fits your needs. Envelopes are included, so heartfelt messages are easy to send for any occasion. Cards are printed on the front and blank inside and on the rear.

Kapaʻa, Hawaiian for solid, anchors Kauaʻi’s east shore, the Royal Coconut Coast, named for the groves once reserved for the aliʻi. Wailua, just south, was the first ancient capital of Kauaʻi, with seven heiau across the district and the only navigable river in Hawaiʻi. The modern town grew from James Makee’s Kealia sugar mill of 1877, backed by King Kalākaua.

The wooden plantation-era storefronts of Old Kapaʻa Town were built by workers who left the fields to open businesses, shops on the first floor and families on the second, and the Sleeping Giant ridge lies behind. The town the plantation workers built is the mark on this piece.

More From Kapaʻa Hawaiʻi

All Kapaʻa Hawaiʻi Items

Modern Kapaʻa grew out of sugar. In 1877 the planter James Makee built the Kealia mill a few miles north with the financial backing of King David Kalākaua, and the plantation drew waves of immigrant labor — from China, Japan, Korea, Portugal, the Philippines, and Puerto Rico — onto land that had been Native Hawaiian for centuries. As workers left the cane fields to make their own way, they raised the wooden storefronts of Old Kapaʻa Town: shop on the first floor, family on the second. Many still stand a century and a half later, now galleries, kitchens, and surf shops. That plantation generation is the root of much of modern Kauai, and the heritage it left — Japanese, Filipino, Portuguese, Chinese, Korean, Puerto Rican — is still read in the family names along the street.

Kapaʻa — Hawaiian for “the solid” — is the working heart of Kauai's east shore, the Royal Coconut Coast, named for the once-vast groves of coconut palms reserved in old Hawaii for royalty. It is the most densely settled town on the island, a place of everyday Kauai life rather than resort gloss: a main street of shops and lunch counters, a long beach, and a coastal bike path, with the green interior climbing behind it toward the wettest mountain on earth. About sixteen thousand people live in the Wailua–Kapaʻa area, more than anywhere else on Kauai, and the town carries the island's mid-market, family-vacation energy rather than the high-end resort polish of the south shore.

Why People Visit Kapaa

Kapaʻa rewards travelers who want the real, working Kauai rather than a resort bubble — a town with a beach and a bike path, the Sleeping Giant on the ridge, and the sacred green valley of Wailua a few minutes south. People come for the coastal path and the river, for the plantation-era main street, and for an easygoing east-shore day where Kauai's deep history and everyday island life sit side by side.
