Beaches for Guests of Princeville Vacation Rentals

On Kauai's North Shore, vacationers who stay in a Princeville condo will find a mixture of glistening beaches, rocky ledges, and incredible views. Some of the beaches aren't even marked, meaning you have to ask a knowledgeable local how to access them. But these little adventures are only going to add to your vacation experience.

One such beach, which the locals call Secret Beach, isn't much of a secret anymore, but it isn't visited by the hordes of people you would expect to venture to such a pristine area. The beach's actual name is Kauapea Beach, and it is located near the small town of Kilauea. In the summer months, guests of Kilauea condo rentals can hike down a cliff to reach this tropical paradise. The surf is usually rough here, but it's a fabulous spot for enjoying the incredible natural beauty of Kauai.

While you're in Kilauea, be sure to visit the Kilauea Lighthouse for the breathtaking views. East of Kilauea is lovely Larsen's Beach, where guests of Princeville condo rentals will find great beachcombing and excellent snorkeling in the clear water.

Anini Beach condo rentals make a great base for enjoying the calm shallow waters at Anini Beach Park. The beach has the longest exposed reef in Kauai, providing some of the most exceptional snorkeling opportunities. People in the know also consider it one of the best places for beginner windsurfers since the winds are generally steady, the bottom is shallow, and the beach is protected by the reef. Amenities include restrooms, showers, and picnic facilities.

Picture-perfect Hanalei Bay features a long crescent of sandy beach backed by steep cliffs. The water is sometimes too dangerous for swimming, but the area is popular with surfers. Vacationers who rent a Princeville Kauai vacation rental will find several lovely beaches along Hanalei Bay. Waikoko Beach offers good snorkeling when the water is calm. The lifeguard-protected beach at Hanalei Pavilion Beach Park is great for surfing and boogie boarding.

Lumaha'i Beach, situated between Haena and Hanalei Bay, is one of the most beautiful beaches in Hawaii. Another stunning beach for guests of Princeville Hawaii vacation condo rentals is Ke'e Beach, located at the very end of the road that traverses the North Shore. Ke'e Beach, which has been used as the backdrop for numerous movies, offers excellent snorkeling.

Kalihiwai Beach, situated on a picturesque bay just east of Princeville, offers a firm sandy beach, good ocean swimming, and shallow pools and streams that that are perfect for kids. In the wintertime, vacationers staying in Princeville vacation accommodations will find great surfing here.
