  • I love that I can call this beach my playground. You have waves if you want to surf, hydrofoil, or boogie board...you have flat if you want to paddle board. Beautiful views, a swimmable beach...Dukes Kauai right there #epic
  • Love this beach, easy to get to, versatile, surfing, body boarding, swimming, kayaking, not huge waves but not small either. Great place to soak up some waves for a few hours!
