Beaches and Bars

Where are the great Kauai beaches with bars? A common question I have received from those headed to Kauai for vacation…

Well, Kauai may not quite have what you are looking for…

Not that we are against drinking or anything, but some of the best beaches on the island are remote with limited access to civilization (i.e. food, shopping, and bars).

If bars are your priority, you may miss out on some of the best places Garden Island has to offer!

Being that I am not adverse to the tropical beach and drinking vacation…here are my suggestions:

Option 1. Select a beach near a hotel or close to a town. Here are your best bets for beaches and bars:

Kalapaki Bay, Lihue ~ adjacent to Duke's Barefoot Bar & Kauai Marriott Beach Club Resort and Hotel; and a short stroll to JJs broiler

Shipwreck's, Poipu ~ adjacent to the Hyatt

Poipu Beach Park & Brenneke's Beach, Poipu ~ across the street to Brenneke's, adjacent to the Marriott Waiohai and further down Poipu Beach you can access the Sheraton

Puu Poa Beach, Princeville ~ adjacent to the Westin Princeville Hotel

These are the only beaches I can think of that have bars and beverages nearby. Alternatively, Hanalei Bay beaches are about 2 - 3 blocks away from the heart of town, just a quick drive or short walk to plenty of places to eat, drink and shop.

If you discover a great beach bar, let me know as I am happy to add it to the list!

Option 2 (recommended) buy or borrow a cooler and tote your own drinks so you don't miss out on some of the best beaches!

Wishing you a wonderful (and safe) vacation on the Garden Island!

Lawai Beach

Lawai Beach, Koloa-Poipu, South Shore, Kauai, Hawaii

Beautiful small crescent of beach by the side of the road in Sunny Poipu!

Relax and take a swim in the cool waters. Reef offshore keeps the waves mild. Known for snorkeling and spotting turtles.

Perfect location to enjoy the sunset!

Amenities: Parking on the side of the road

Directions: Highway 50, turn left at Maluhia Road, turn right on Koloa Road (at end of Maluhia Road), first left on Poipu Road, at rotary (traffic circle) take second right onto Lawai Road toward Spouting Horn, continue on Lawai Road and when in doubt stay to the right on the main road. Lawai Beach will be on your left just past the Beach House restaurant
