About this site
Lydgate State Park sits on the east side of Kauaʻi, near the mouth of the Wailua River, within Kauaʻi County. The site is generally considered a beginner-friendly dive, which fits its reputation as a family-oriented, protected swimming and snorkeling area formed by rock breakwaters along the shoreline.
