Lydgate Beach Park is located on the East side of Kauai adjacent to the Wailua River. The two rock-enclosed ponds create a safe haven from the open ocean waves, while still allowing the small reef fish to move into the pond through the crevices. This spot will almost guarantee that you will see a variety of tropical fish. The protected calm waters, posted lifeguard and variety of fish make this the perfect beginner beach for snorkeling.
Lydgate State Park is a great family beach for swimming, picnicking, and snorkeling in two protected lagoons. Lifeguards, full facilities, picnic areas, Kamalani Playground, and the 2.5-mile paved coastal path make this a great choice for the whole family.
