Take time away to explore the beauty of the Hawaiian island paradise of Kauai and stay at our Kapaa beach hotels. With its diverse topography, Kauai visitors can spend time hiking in the mountains, lounging on the beach, swimming at the base of waterfalls, and more.

The Hawaiian Islands are known for their beautiful beaches that attract visitors from across the globe. Kapaa beach hotels offer access to some of the longest sandy beaches in all of Hawaii. Anyone looking for a place to slow down for a day and listen to the ebb and flow of the waves will love the picturesque beaches that line the Kauai coastline. Popular locations include Hanalei Beach Park and Bay, Ke’e Beach, Anini Beach, and Polihale Beach. Located on the North Shore, Hanalei Beach is regarded as the best beach on the island, as it boasts two miles of sand along a crescent bay with sprawling vistas of mountains behind. The bay is large enough that the diverse topography below the water provides great waves for beginner and expert surfers. Ke’e Beach is an excellent destination for snorkeling with its clear water and lagoon, where fish swim among the reef. The calm water at Anini Beach makes for a great destination for those looking for a place to swim, scuba dive, or snorkel during their day at the beach. Polihale Beach is a relatively remote location but has beautiful views of the world’s tallest sea cliffs and a desert island feel.
