Tunnels Beach, Kauai, Hawaii (with Map & Photos)

Tunnels Beach, also known as Makua Beach, is considered by many to be the premier destination for scuba divers and snorkelers, during the calm waters of the summer months thanks to the coral reef in the form of a half glass that is found near the coast.

The reef also makes the beach safe for swimming during the summer, and a slow drift allows plenty of room to overcome. Boatboats are on duty during peak hours, and there are plenty of shady spots and a few picnic tables to enjoy a relief. Visitors should note that there is no parking lot, so it is recommended to move early to find a spot across the road; there is a short path that leads to the beach.
