Wailua - all beaches

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!

The beach's pathway was like a small tunnel of trees, which was quite charming. Although the waves were too rough for kids, adults could enjoy their beauty. The sand was amazing, smooth, and spotless. It was not crowded on a Thursday afternoon, which was perfect for us. The walkway to the beach was impressive, and you can see it in the pictures. This beach has become one of my favorites, and I would definitely recommend it. We didn't see any donkeys, though!

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.

This beach is an absolute gem, offering impressive waves that are ideal for both surfing and bodyboarding. Additionally, there are public restrooms and ample parking facilities available for visitors. One of the major advantages of this beach is its location along the Kapa'a bike trails, making it easily accessible for those who enjoy cycling. Without a doubt, this is one of the finest beaches on Kauai's coconut east coast.

The beach is strikingly beautiful, however, it is strongly advised against swimming in the waters due to the fierce riptides that pose a great danger. I had high hopes of taking a dip in the ocean, being one of the major attractions of Kauai Beach Resort, but was left disheartened. Nevertheless, the natural splendor of the beach is undeniable and cannot be disputed.
