While all of the beaches along the Nāpali Coast are picturesque, some are protected by bays, inlets and reefs while others are on rocky points that jet out into the ocean. Depending on the season and wind conditions, any of these beaches can be great for swimming and water sports or dangerous because of strong currents and rip tides. It is best to read the postings at a local lifeguard station before taking the plunge.
