Kiahuna Beach
10 Mateo Rivera

This sandy haven is a sight to behold, boasting crystal-clear waters that will make you want to dive right in. It's the perfect spot to unwind and let your worries drift away. I can't recommend it enough - it's a must-visit for anyone seeking a little slice of paradise.

Poipu Beach

This beach is fantastic for snorkeling, but the rocks can be quite slippery. Despite being quite crowded, it's still an amazing spot. We were lucky enough to spot some spectacular turtles here, and there's a team of people dedicated to keeping them safe. They've even set up a half circle in the sand and cones to ensure people don't get too close.

Kalapaki Beach

We had an amazing week in Kauai and this beach was the perfect spot! It wasn't too busy, the scenery was stunning, and it was ideal for swimming and bodyboarding. On our last day, we even had the pleasure of seeing a sea turtle swimming with us!

Shipwreck Beach
8 Amar Shahid, MD

The beach is a good spot to catch the sunset or get some sun, but the water can be quite rough. I noticed some people scaling the cliff to jump off, but it seemed risky. It's situated directly behind the Grand Hyatt, so many of their guests were present. During my visit, I was fortunate enough to see a monk seal resting on the beach, which was a pleasant surprise.

Lae Nani Beach
10 Soren Keller.

This charming beach is a wonderful spot to relax and unwind. A designated kiddie pool has been constructed to shield the waves and create a secure swimming area for children. The sandy shoreline is accompanied by a rocky reef that looms near the shore, so caution is necessary when wading out. However, there is a location where you can enter the water without fear of this obstacle. Additionally, there is another rocky barrier approximately 100 yards from the shore, so it's essential to exercise caution. Most visitors to this beach prefer to soak up the sun and bask in its beauty, with only a few daring to venture into the open water. Despite this, it remains a fantastic destination.

There is a large amount of driftwood on the beach, and there is an elderly little person wearing a yellow hat who can entertain you with humorous jokes.
