This beach was both long and wide. It was a lot of fun to watch all the surfing. My husband and I rented bikes and rode all along the path and then came back another day to have lunch at one of the picnic tables. We did our swimming at other beaches but really got a kick out of watching... More

Just on the edge of Kapaa lies Kealia Beach. Long stretch of sandy beach, waves to ride or splash around in and the most amazing sunrise viewing spots in kauai. But most importantly is Guard Cat. A friendly little orange tabby the life guards have adopted and lives in the shack. Hes always looking for a little love, a little... More

A picture perfect beach with larger waves on the southern half oft surfing and smaller waves on the northern half for boogie boarding. Wonderful sandy expanse that looks like it was meant for a postcard. More

The beach stays busy. The Kauai bike path runs right along the beach. It’s a favorite beach for swimming, boogie boarding, and surfing. There is a life guard stand on this beach. More

I booked a surf lesson while visiting Kauai and I was a little nervous when they said we would be learning at Kealia Beach. (I had read that it was a good place for experienced surfers, but not for beginners.) Our lesson was at 9 am on a weekday, so the beach wasn't crowded at all. We stayed on the... More

This beach is great to surf but only if you are experienced and know what you are doing. Otherwise stay out of the water here. It is very dangerous. This beach will suck you out before you know it. Not trying to scare anyone or bash this beach because it is a great place to surf or body board but... More

This beach is great for boogie boarding, body or board surfing. We spent our vacation in August on the east coast of Kauai and my kids never left the water here. This is an excellent beach for boogie boarding. The beach is split into two sections. The hard surf that the locals or experienced boarders go to is on the... More
