Details
This is a beautiful, white sand, crescent-shaped beach with tranquil water and a great place to learn to surf on the offshore break with great views of Nawiliwili Bay and the Hoary Head Mountains. It’s a favorite place to swim when conditions are calm, which is most of the time, but beware of strong rip currents during high surf. There isn’t a posted lifeguard, so be aware of water and weather conditions before swimming. If you are looking for some water activities for the family, there are surf lessons and catamaran cruises, as well as water sports rentals nearby. Close to the airport, hotels and cruise port, Kalapaki is conveniently located off Rice St. west of Līhu‘e in front of the Royal Sonesta Kauai Resort. There are no set hours or entrance fees. Park in the public parking lot at the hotel.
