This beach was on the list given to us from our resort as a good place to snorkel, so we decided to give it a try. When we first drove by the beach, we almost decided to continue on. The beach is quite small and doesn't look like much, but we really enjoyed the snorkeling here! From the road (Lawai Rd) to the water was probably only about 30 feet. This is also the only area we even saw sea turtles for the whole week we snorkeled in Kauai (unlike the Big Island where they were everywhere). This was perhaps our favorite spot to snorkel on this trip (in Jan.) We weren't the only ones there; it wasn't crowded, but for it's size, there were a fair number of people there.

The entry into the water is a very gentle sandy slope and there is a reef barrier that protects the little bay. For heartier snorkellers and divers, there are several channels out to deeper waters.
