So put on your sunscreen and pack your swimsuit – it’s time to explore some of Kauai’s best beaches!
Hanalei Bay
This beach is located on the north shore of Kauai and is one of the most popular beaches on the island. Hanalei Bay is well-known for its beautiful sandy beaches, turquoise waters, and stunning mountain backdrop. The bay is also a great place for swimming, surfing, and stand-up paddleboarding.
Poipu Beach Park
Poipu Beach Park is located on the south shore of Kauai and is another one of the island’s popular beach destinations. This beach is popular for a lot of the same reasons as Hanalei Bay and will be just as great for the same activities. However, Poipu Beach Park has much more amenities nearby and is known as more of a “resort” area.
In addition, whale watching views in Poipu beach are fantastic. So if you are visiting during Kauai’s whale watching season make sure to visit Poipu beach.
Anini Beach
Anini Beach is located on the north shore of Kauai. This beach is less crowded than some of the other beaches on the island, making it a great place to relax and enjoy the stunning scenery. Anini Beach is also a very large area, so you won’t have to share your snorkeling and swimming spots with other travelers.
Ke’e Beach
Ke’e Beach is located on the north shore of Kauai. This beach is a great place to relax and enjoy the stunning scenery and is going to be a wonderful place to avoid the crowds due to the reservation policy. Hiking, walk-ins, and shuttle riders will all need to make a reservation – but the beauty of this beach is well worth it.
Lydgate Beach Park
Lydgate Beach Park is located on the east side of Kauai. This beach is a large, family-friendly beach where you can spend all day relaxing. This scenic location is a huge attraction for picnickers, campers, and even windsurfers when the conditions are right. The many facilities and lifeguards in the area give you all the reasons to spend a day (or more) at Lydgate Beach Park with family and friends.
Nualolo Kai
Nualolo Kai is found on Kauai’s famous Na Pali Coast and can’t be reached by land. The only way to access this incredibly beautiful beach is by boat. Due to the historic significance of the area, very few boat charters can even land on this beach. Luckily, Kauai Sea Tours is one of the privileged few that offers access to this unique destination.
Our Na Pali Beach Landing Tour is a 6.5-hour adventure along the Na Pali Coast, exploring all the nooks and crannies of the coast where you eventually land on Nualolo Kai beach. You will be able to enjoy this hidden beach in all its secluded beauty. During your stay on the beach, enjoy a narrated hike through the remains of the ancient fishing village. It is a Hawaiian adventure you are sure to remember for a lifetime.
