Review:
Kalapaki Beach is a great choice for beginner swimmers, surfers, and water sport enthusiasts, located in front of the Kauai Marriott Beach Resort along Kalapaki Bay on Kauai's eastern shoreline.
Who is it for? The beach is partially protected by a large break wall, creating generally calm and safe water conditions for boogie boarders, stand-up paddleboarders, and canoeists, with surfing lessons offered year-round by a number of beach vendors.
Good to know: Ample shoreline space is offered for sunbathers, with frequent pick-up beach volleyball games started throughout the summer months.
What's nearby? Nearby at the Kalapaki Beach Hut, visitors can grab to-go picnic lunches and shaved ice for enjoying as they watch cruise ships come in and out of port at nearby Nawiliwili Harbor.
