Kalapaki Beach

Fine White Sand, Perfect Surf, and 40 acres of Freshwater Lagoons



Address:
Rice St & Wapa'a Rd
(Off Hwy 50)
Lihue, HI 96766

Description

One of Kaua'i's most popular beaches, Kalapaki has it all: beautiful blue water, fine white sand, and dramatic, sheltering lava cliffs to protect it from the full fury of the ocean's power. In addition to the Marriot Resort, the beach is also adjacent to the Kauai Lagoons, a 40 acre area of freshwater lagoons that are home to an impressive variety of wildlife. A well-known surfing beach, the waves do get high in the winter, but in general this is a good beach for families, and offers restrooms, showers, and picnic facilities. Surfing lessons and sailboat rentals are also available.
