This beach is my go-to spot for fun! Whether you're looking to surf, hydrofoil, boogie board, or paddle board, you'll find the perfect waves or flat water here. Plus, the views are stunning and the beach is great for swimming. Dukes Kauai is definitely the place to be! #epic

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!

This beach is great! It's situated in a sheltered bay with stunning views of the mountains. There are plenty of water activities to enjoy, as well as sand volleyball. The Royal Sonesta resort is just a short walk away, and there are several restaurants and shops in the vicinity.

Kalapaki Beach is situated in the small arc of Nawiliwilli Bay. It is the starting point of the renowned Ironman of Hawaii, where the first event, swimming, takes place. When the waves are calm, visitors can observe surfers riding them.

I absolutely adore this beach! It's easily accessible and offers a variety of activities, such as surfing, body boarding, swimming, and kayaking. The waves are neither too big nor too small, making it a great spot to spend a few hours enjoying the surf.
