Kapaa Covonut Beach in Kuaui

What hotels are recommended on Coconut Beach? Sheraton, Outrigger, etc?

Coconut Beach in Kapaa on Kauai is a beautiful, less-crowded area on the east coast of the island. While there are not many large resorts directly on Coconut Beach itself, there are several recommended accommodations nearby that provide easy access to the beach and a comfortable stay.

Here are some options to consider:

  • Kapaa Shores – Located just a short walk from Coconut Beach, this property offers condo-style accommodations with kitchen facilities, making it great for families or those who want a relaxed, self-catered stay.
  • Hale Awapuhi – A small vacation rental property very close to the beach. It offers more privacy and a quieter environment, ideal for couples or small families.
  • Vacation Rentals / Airbnb Options – Many homes and condos in the Kapaa area are within walking distance of Coconut Beach. This can offer more space and flexibility compared to traditional hotels.

Regarding larger hotel chains like Sheraton or Outrigger, there are none directly on Coconut Beach. The nearest Outrigger property is on the North Shore at Hanalei or Poipu on the south coast, and the Sheraton is in Poipu, far south from Kapaa. So if proximity to Coconut Beach is your priority, renting a condo or smaller resort-style property in Kapaa itself is usually the best choice.

Other tips for staying near Coconut Beach:

  • Look for properties with beach access and parking close by, as street parking can be limited in Kapaa.
  • Many condos have lanai (balcony) views, which are perfect for watching sunrises over the ocean.
  • Consider proximity to Kapaa town for restaurants, grocery stores, and local shops, which is only a few minutes drive from the beach.

In summary, for Coconut Beach, smaller condos or vacation rentals in Kapaa are the most practical and enjoyable accommodations, while large resorts like Sheraton or Outrigger are located further away on other parts of the island.
