Tunnels is too dangerous to swim during the winter when large waves pound the north shore. We recommend arriving early to find a spot. Don't leave it to the last minute if you want a prime location at the beach.
What beach in Kauai has the clearest water?
The water is so clear at Anini Beach! A 2-mile coral breaker further out prevents the big waves from rolling in. Even when the North Shore experiences winter swells in the winter months, Anini tends to be calm much of the time. You can snorkel near the coral reef.
