The northern shore of Kauai includes a solid 50 miles of striking white-sand beaches. Tunnels Beach is perhaps the most noteworthy. This popular casual beach spot offers visitors outstanding views of majestic Mount Makana. There are also shallow reefs here that are perfect for snorkeling.
Just outside the resort town known as Princeville, you will find a nigh-legendary beachfront tide pool that, over the centuries, was carved out by the ocean. It was once a favorite bathing spot of genuine Hawaiian royalty. Today it is a super spot to swim and check out the sea life.
