Relax at Tunnels Beach, Kauai
Added by Christin Healey
Tunnels Beach offers a great inner reef area with calmer waters for swimming and kids. The outer reef offers snorkeling and diving.
Makua, aka Tunnels, is known for its incredible mountain scenery. This beach also offers great snorkeling, where people will usually see turtles. Public parking, bathrooms and showers are available at Haena Beach Park located west of Tunnels. Be sure to head to the beach early, parking on the town's streets can be a little challenging.

Gorgeous view
This is one of the most beautiful places on Kauai. Long and wide golden beach and the breathtaking view will keep you in awe. Used as a background in a couple of well know movies. Just wait for the sunset. You will not regret.

My favorite beach in Kauai
This was my favorite beach on our trip to Kauai. Unfortunately I had not discovered snorkeling yet, but look forward to snorkeling here some day! We walked down the beach quite a ways, so enjoyed the peace and quiet away from other people. We also got to watch surfers for several hours. Beautiful setting.

Great snorkeling
We stopped here to snorkel and swim and were not disappointed. There were tons of fish and two sea turtles while we were there. Theres also a great shallow area if you have little kids with you.

One Of The Best Places To Go Snorkeling
Loved the beach + the drive to it! It can be confusing once you get there on what beach is actually tunnels (it's where all the coral is, not the farthest left side of the beach) but once you find It; you'll get crystal clear waters, turtles and a snorkelers heaven of all kids of fishes.
