Aliomanu Beach, Kauai
Composed of two sections of beach, Aliomanu is a beautiful stretch of sand and one of the lesser-known beaches on Kauai. The south beach is mainly used by local families for pole-, torch- and throw-net fishing, octopus hunting and limu (seaweed) harvesting on the offshore fringing reef. The south beach also has a lagoon where one can swim in. The north beach is more picturesque and a nice place to enjoy the serene surroundings. However, the nearshore waters are rocky, so swimming is limited. Aliomanu is a rather remote area and not many tourists come here just for the beach. The ones who come here are likely staying at one of the vacation homes along this stretch of shoreline.
