Between lei making, ukelele lessons, and dozens of other family-friendly activities, It’s almost impossible to be bored at this luxe mega-resort. The main draw is the saltwater lagoon, which spans four acres and features its own white-sand beach. Here, you can paddleboard, kayak, and even snorkel. (You're likely to spot turtles and tropical fish here, too, since the lagoon connects directly the ocean.)  

Featuring turquoise waters and a sugar-white shoreline that looks straight out of a postcard, it’s no surprise that Poipu Beach is considered one of America’s best beaches (it’s particularly great for swimming, sunbathing, and snorkeling) Stay right on the beach at the Sheraton Kaui Resort, which offers sweeping beach views, comfortable accommodations, and, of course, a central beachfront location.
