Lydgate Beach

This is a nice family beach park with plenty of amenities. Located in Kapa'a, Lydgate offers showers, restrooms, a playground, lifeguards, and a picnic area. Another unique feature are the two rock-enclosed pools (the smaller one is for the kids) which allow for a nice dip without being exposed to the ocean's pull.

The ponds allow you AND the fish in, which means this is a good spot to feed your underwater friends. Some bread crumbs, chips or cereal usually gets the fish attention. Morning is the best time to feed the fish. As always, monitor the ocean conditions. Even though the ponds are protected, high surf could be dangerous.

To get to Lydgate take Highway 56 north toward Wailua. At mile marker 5 turn right on Leho Drive. Take the second right to the beach parking lot.

Location: Lydgate Beach is located in the East Kauai
