Kauai 2009 Travel Planner - (Page 30) Beaches Everywhere Who can think of Hawai‘i without an image of a beach? The beaches of Kaua‘i will exceed your expectations. Go for a dip at Po‘ipu Beach on the sun-blessed ¯ South Shore. Small kids can “hang 10” on gentle waves while snorkelers probe the shallows and daring divers descend on caverns where lava tubes attract parades of fish flaunting neon colors. On the North Shore, even landlubbers shouldn’t pass up an opportunity to plunge into fish-filled Ke ‘e Beach. ¯¯ On the east side, Lydgate Beach Park, with its calm, clear waters is the best place for novice snorkelers. This makes Lydgate especially suitable for families with children of all ages. The truth is you can’t go more than a few miles on Kaua‘i without running into another great beach. That’s one reason people call it paradise. Voted #1 on Kauai Come See Why Dive Right In If you prefer to be underwater, reserve a day for diving. There are lots to choose from among Kaua‘i’s 35 dive sites. Ma kua Beach (“Tunnels Beach”) in ¯ Ha ‘ena is distinguished by its awesome ¯ reef. Koloa Landing, on the South ¯ Shore, is also popular with snorkelers and divers. There are a number of companies that offer snorkeling trips along the Napali Coast and you can even ¯ experience world-class diving off the forbidden island of Ni‘ihau, 17 miles off the coast of Kaua‘i. Not certified? Then try snuba, a shallow water diving system that does not require certification. Take a waterproof camera so you can bring home the spectacular underwater views.
