Hanalei Bay, Hawaii, United States
4.5 (580 reviews) Spent Ranking #13 in Kauai Beaches
Beautiful Beach!!
This crescent-shaped bay in Kauai is the largest bay on the north shore, with stunning views and gorgeous beaches. Start at Black Pot Beach and head towards Hanalei Pier—an unmistakable landmark jetty made famous by the classic film, South Pacific—before walking towards Hanalei Pavilion Beach Park. Find a good spot along the bay to set down your towels—you can have a picnic, kayak, sunbathe, and even snorkel if the waters are calm (the waves can be rough during winter). Stay until sunset for exceptionally amazing views of Mount Makana in the distance. Hanalei Bay is a featured stop on many Kauai boat tours; some even help you to look for green sea turtles. – Tripadvisor

Beautiful Beach!!
While on our vacation in Kauai, we met some family friends at Hanalei Bay Beach. There is a very small free parking lot and we got lucky and arrived just as someone was leaving. It's a long stretch of beach that was very clean and the sand was powder soft. The water was unbelievably warm and clear. It was almost like being in a heated pool. The beach was not overly crowded. The waves oscillated between gentle and strong. The kids (two 6 year olds and a 9 year old) really enjoyed playing in the water. There were lifeguards on duty who were advising people, myself included, to be careful of the undertow. There were showers and bathrooms. The unique part of this beach is the pier that you can walk out on. From there you will get a great view of the beach and bay. Words and pictures cannot fully convey how beautiful this beach is. If there is one beach that you go to while in Kauai I would highly recommend this beach.

Great beach area, sunset, early morning
Really nice big beach on both side of the pier. We went here 2 evenings for sunset day an early morning to see the morning light on the mountains which was beautiful. Great family beach. Nice place for people of all ages can enjoy. Bathroom and outdoor showers. Lots of parking.
