👍👍 Lovely, quiet little beach. Golden coarse sand (fun to play with) and gentle waves. Perfect to relax in the surf as the sun goes down. There are some rocks so not the best for swimming. Tide pool is like a miniature queen's bath, is great for children. Easy access if you are staying at Kauai Shores...
