12 Best Beaches on Kauai

"Situated at the mouth of the Wailua River on the island’s east side, this family-friendly spot features multiple sheltered shallow pools ideal for children and snorkelers, plus a 2.5-mile paved path popular for walking and cycling. Cultural attractions like Smith's Garden Luau and Wailua River cruises to the Fern Grotto are only a short drive away." - Vanessa Wilkins Vanessa Wilkins Vanessa Wilkins is a travel and lifestyle writer with an extensive background in digital journalism.
