I feel bad because it seems you may have missed out on some of the best beaches. For swimming, snorkeling, and easy access Anini beach is huge, stunning, and contains a massive reef to protect from the waves. Also Kalihiwai is absolutely stunning.
Can't believe you left out Anini beach on the North Shore. Lots of park along the road easy access and the main beach has facilities. Protected by a long reef and very calm year round. Check it out!
It's the best North Shore swimming anytime of the year. Anini Beach is usually less crowded than Poipu or Hanalei and is really quite breathtaking. The Anini Beach Park has multiple campsites with permits, shade trees, picnic tables, pavilions, restrooms and showers. Ke’e Beach, Haena Beach and Tunnels Beach are awesome on calm water days, so mostly Summer, with parking for Tunnels Beach best at Haena Beach Park. Ke’e Beach has it's own, but get there early. Also On Kauai’s Western shore, Salt Pond Beach Park is really awesome the water anytime and is generally quite clear here as the natural fringing reefs help keep the water fairly calm. You will find restrooms, showers and shade pavilions. Very east access. Aloha!
Glass beach is amazing if you want to pick up Sea Glass and make some home Made jewelry. Salt pound is amazing also most locals on the west side go there.
Thanks so much for this great video! Ive watched it several times as I prepare for my trip & see so many concerns about no parking near many of the beaches & the long hikes to get to them. So big Thank you for your details!!
@@supercommando440 Kauai is the oldest island in the chain and has had time to develop sand beaches. There are many beaches all around the island. If you want to body surf go to pine trees at hanalei bay. If you want to learn to surf hanalei pier. If you are more experienced you can surf the reef at the bay. Other beaches to surf are donkeys (don't remember the actual name) pouipu is a good surf spot, and the beach at lihue in front of the Marriott. this is by no means an exhaustive list. the great thing about it all is there is lots of beaches to explore. And as far as weather is concerned, it's an island. Don't like the weather where your at? Go to the other side of the island. Aloha brah🤙!
Essentially Hawaii law that beaches are "public" and not for private companies to profit from. You will find beach chairs at most of the resorts in Maui at Wailea Beach. The Aulani on Oahu also provides beach chairs
It looks like beaches in Kauai are not as swimmable and romantic compare to other islands? I am planning to go to hawaii with girlfriend. Which island should I go?
Looks like you went after the big rains last year. Those storms washed a lot of trees out to sea and then the waves washed them back up on shore. You probably couldn't get to Ke'e. That's the best beach on the island. Too bad you missed sunset there.
I need help, so here is the deal. I went to Hawaii before (Maui) and it was fun, but I went there at a resort, and it was super super expensive!!! I want to go Kauai with my wife but not at a hotel, this time I want to rent a Airbnb and have access to beaches with out going to hotel (no wrest band) is there public beaches there? that I can go and enjoy my time with out paying this crazy money to hotels? and where exactly? and how to I search for them so I know which Airbnb to get that is close to it please
Not very inspiring… seems like nearly every spot you showcased in this video had choppy, bad surf and WIND. What time of year was this video taken? Where’s the blue water, sun and good surf?
Lovely sand, it has a waterfall in the middle, a huge sea cave at one end, the other end leads to a lush valley best described as garden of eden and there not many tourists (you need a permit to go there).
Not a lot of parking at that beach... I really want to do that hike some day. I have to get over my mortal fear of heights to ever do Crawler's Ledge, though.
I didn't even know you could Kayak it. Is that with a a tour, or just yourselves? Something you need to be fairly experienced to do, or could a relative novice make it OK? I am interested in doing that if it's something a couple of decently in shape 40 year olds with just basic, calm water kayaking experience could do. I wouldn't attempt it solo, though.
