Hanama'ulu Bay, Kauai
Hanama'ulu Bay is located just north of Lihue Airport on Kauai's east shore. The nearshore waters of the bay are usually murky thanks to silt that enters the bay from the Hanama'ulu Stream. The beach park is therefore mainly visited by picnickers and campers. Facilities in the park include picnic tables, BBQ grills, a pavilion, restrooms, showers and a playground.
Snorkeling is sometimes possible in the area around Ahukini Pier on days when the ocean is calm. The waters further out in the bay are clearer and occasionally attract scuba divers.
