Lydgate State Park is nice area with all the facilities. The sandy beach makes a wonderful kid's paradise! Snorkelers will find the area perfect during most weather conditions; beginning divers will find it adequate for a first dive or two.

Directions: Heading North from Lihu'e on Highway 56, turn right into the park at about mile mark 5.5. If you've crossed the Wailua River, you've gone too far.

Nice dive site!  We dove here four times, two times out to the right side of the bay and two times out to the left side. Going to the right side we had a very long surface swim out, about 20 minutes but it was worth it. Nice sandy bottom, with lots of shells and stuff to find in the sand. Nice easy entry and exit to the water, the only draw back is that you have to get there early to get a parking spot. There is very limited parking there. Over all we had a great time diving at Koloa Landing. I can't wait to visit Kauai again.
