12 Best Beaches on Kauai

"Stretching about 17 miles along the west shore just before the southern reach of the Nā Pali Coast, this is the longest beach in Hawaii and a popular spot for picnicking, sunset-watching, and camping (permits required). Strong ocean currents make it unsafe for most swimming and snorkeling; access requires driving a sandy dirt road where four-wheel drive is recommended and some rental companies may restrict travel after bad weather." - Vanessa Wilkins Vanessa Wilkins Vanessa Wilkins is a travel and lifestyle writer with an extensive background in digital journalism.
