Hanalei Bay Kauai-Hawaii, Top America’s Beach
Hanalei Bay located on the North Shore of Kaua’i is the largest bay at Hawaii. This is a 2-mile long half-moon bay with white sand and majestic mountains – more than just beautiful, Hanalei is also an amazing ocean playground. Hanalei Bay consists of nearly two miles of beach, surrounded by the beautiful mountains behind them. In the summer, the bay is like glass, offering excellent moorage for sailboats, stand up paddle boarding and swimming. The Princeville community overlooks from the northeast entrance to the bay. During the winter the surf becomes large and is a favorite surf location.
Experienced surfers are offered large waves at a reef on the right hand side of the bay. Closer in, at the pier, the waves lose energy and are perfect for beginners. Variably sized waves are served at the middle sections good for boogie boarding and intermediate level surfers. The beach is never crowded and offers plenty of room to play.
Unfortunately the weather and surf dont always cooperate. Winter storms can bring chaotic ocean conditions, with run-off from rainfall sometimes dirtying the water. Storms and rainfall can also change the beachs sand by littering it with debris and rocks. During the summer the bay turns into a placid lake thats good for swimming and a favorite for beginner paddle boarders.
