Is There Good Snorkeling At Tunnels Beach In Kauai?

Makua Beach, also known as Tunnels Beach, is a top snorkeling spot on the north coast of Kauai, known for its clear waters and rich sea life. Despite the closure of the largest snorkeling area, the reef surrounding the beach allows visitors to encounter vibrant sea life. Activities like snorkeling and scuba diving are available at Tunnels Beach.

The best spot for snorkeling is in the center portion of the beach, which features a half moon-shaped reef. It is recommended to get in the water as it can be unnerving at first swimming. The best place to snorkel is at Tunnels, located on the same beach as Haena Park North of Hanalei. Limited parking is available, so it is recommended to arrive early.

Snorkeling Tunnels used to be some of the best in Kauai, but now it is only decent with currents and is possible in the summer. Poipu Beach, one of the top Kauai snorkeling beaches, offers magnificent marine life, ample amenities, and a bit of lawn, sun, and sand. If you are a relatively strong swimmer and have a bouy (50 at the dive shop), Waiohai is recommended.
