Playgrounds Beach

Playgrounds Beach, Lihue, East Side, Kauai, Hawaii

Beautiful soft sand creates a narrow beach that is great for a long walk as it stretches in one direction to Lydgate and to Nikoli'i in the other.

Rolling and crashing waves make the waters rough for swimming but soothing a magnificent to the ears!

Seems private, as I spotted only one other person on the beach today.

Great spot if you would like to BBQ and hang out on the beach and definitely a good place to check out the sunrise.

Amenities: Bathrooms, open area Picnic Benches, BBQ

Parking: Ample parking amongst trees

Directions: Highway 56 to Leho Drive (between Kapaa and Lihue / mile markers 5 and 6), turn towards ocean onto Nehe Road, drive to end and park

Kalapaki Beach

Kalapaki Bay Beach, Lihue, Kauai, Hawaii

Grassy areas and shade available too!

Kealia Beach

Kealia Beach, Kapaa, Kauai, Hawaii

Long Stretch of beautiful soft sand and the perfect place to see the Sunrise on Kauai!

The beach is wide enough for everyone to have a space and you can walk forever (though sand tends to sink a little when walking).

Rolling waves makes for popular surf spot but more challenging swimming.

Amenities: Ample parking, Bathrooms, Picnic Bench Pavilians, Shower

Directions: Highway 56 just North of Kapaa
