Kauai Beach Safety Tips: Watch the ocean at least 20 minutes before entering. You can tell hazardous conditions by the telltale signs of water moving rapidly. Also constant swirling in seemingly calm water and waves breaking far offshore can be another sign that water may not be right for swimming.
Kauai Snorkeling There are several more great snorkeling spots in Kauai. There's Lydgate Park near Wailua on Kauai's East Side, a man-made lagoon featuring protected waters, ideal for beginners. At Tunnels just beyond Hanalei, the place offers a vast labyrinth of pathways that intersect its wide fringing reef. If you want a splendid way to combine adventure, scenic beauty, and snorkeling in Kauai, then book yourself a boat cruise.
