Condobob's Facts On Kauai Beaches.
The very best beaches in all Hawaii are located only 5 minutes from the bluffs of Princeville. They offer excellent snorkeling, scuba diving, wind surfing and kayaking. You can also kayak up the nearby rivers that connect the waterfalls to the ocean.
Ski:
Jan and I go there when we want to be close to things beautiful like the Marriot and yet far away by ourselves on a little section of lovely beach in an Island Paradise. If you want more private beaches you need to go to the ones I have mentioned. As referred to earlier, our very favorite private beach is 5 minutes from Princeville and is located in Hanalei Bay which has 3 miles of white sand coral free beach, and seldom has over 50 people on the entire beach. There are a few mansions around but it is still private to a major degree.
The North Shore of Kauai, near Princeville, has more of the best beaches in all Hawaii than on any other Island. It is 8 miles to the end of the road from Princeville and it is a nature's wonderland and a beach lover's paradise. You will find lovely Ke'e Beach at the very end of the road in a park setting where the Kalalau Trail commences.
Golf:
You can also hike the Kalalau Trail on the Napali Coast which is located on the North Shore of Kauai and see the breathtaking views of the mountains, waterfalls and the ocean. The North Shore of Kauai has some of the most beautiful scenery anywhere in the world.
Basically Kauai is a natures' paradise. The most beautiful areas are still pristine areas with no houses or hotels and the better beaches are generally not accessible directly from condos, like Lumahai beach where scenes of South Pacific were filmed, or Secret Beach and many others. You must search them out and go to them and one cannot live right next to them close to the beach. Some are a 1/2 mile walk from the roadway and others are a few hundred yards down a slope or through the trees, etc.
In my personal opinion, if you want to visit other beaches on other parts of the Island of Kauai, the Marriott Hotel located in Lihue has the best Hotel beach on Kauai at Kalapaki Beach, and it is free and accessible by all visitors.
Guest Book:
It is great for snorkeling and for little ones as the beach area inside the reefs and coral is wave free and a giant tide pool that is crystal clear.
Kauai is not like Waikiki Beach or Kanapali Beach, all great beaches, but they are often filled with thousands of people. Kauai's beaches are more hidden and exclusive and represent an adventure to search out, find, and visit. It can be an all day experience where you pack a lunch and beverages and go with a sun umbrella and lots of sunscreen to be with and enjoy nature in a special, private and secluded way.
If you really want to walk a beach located next to a great Hotel, the Marriott Hotel in Lihue is the best on Kauai. Of course, the Princeville Hotel is a must to see and visit along with its more modest beach. It is truly a World Class Hotel in every respect and a great place to dine at evening time on the lanai at Hanalei Café and watch the sunset turn into night over beautiful Hanalei Bay and the Hanalei mountains.
