The best beaches on Kauai

Kauai, the oldest island within Hawaii’s chain, is known for its relaxed, quiet, and relatively unpopulated beaches.  Fifty miles of white sand adorn this garden isle, giving visitors a wide variety to choose from.  But with so many options, and so little time, how do you pick or even prioritize which beach to spend your day at?

We recommend beginning by narrowing down the activities and your preferences for your beach day.  Are you hoping to snorkel?  Do you wish to bring the kids?  Are you looking for calm waters, public restrooms, or generous shade?  Are you renting body boards or surfboards?  All these tidbits play a role in choosing the ideal beach for the day.
