Before exploring any of the destinations below, take a second to read our blog filled with beach safety tips.

North Shore

Kauai’s North Shore is where you can find towns like Hanalei and Princeville, as well as several great beach options. Mount Makana serves as the backdrop at Ha’ena Beach Park, while ‘Anini Beach Park is protected by a huge coral reef. Head to the end of Highway 60, and you’ll find Ke’e Beach, an excellent snorkeling destination and a beach with lifeguards on duty. There’s also Hanalei Bay, known as one of the best surfing spots on the North Shore.

South Shore

Arguably one of the most popular beaches on Kauai can be found on the South Shore. Po’ipu Beach Park is known for its crystal-clear waters. With lifeguards on duty seven days a week, visitors can rest easy knowing they can safely surf, swim, and snorkel. Other options on this side of Kauai include Baby Beach, Shipwreck Beach, and Brennecke’s Beach.

East Side

For guests at Waipouli Beach Resort or one of our rentals in Lihue or Kapaa, you have a number of spots only a short distance away. Thanks to lifeguards on duty and a laval rock wall that shields it from the open ocean, Lydgate Beach Park is a great family-friendly option. Other safe swimming options are Kalapaki Beach and Lydgate Pond. For those looking to go surfing, we recommend Kealia Beach Park.
