Lydgate Beach Park is a popular beach park located on Kauai's east shore. Its main attraction is the large, double-sectioned pool that is protected from ocean swells by a man-made rock barrier. The park offers a safe and enjoyable swimming and snorkeling experience for both children and adults, with a lifeguard tower overlooking the pools. Additionally, visitors can explore the park's grass field, two playgrounds, and nearby historical sites, making it a great destination for families and outdoor enthusiasts.

Named after Rev. John Lydgate, a civic leader and former church pastor, Lydgate Beach Park offers a long and wide beach that has been featured in various films. The park's rich history includes the efforts of Albert S. Morgan Sr., who had the idea to build the sheltered swimming area and successfully implemented the project in 1964. With its beautiful pools, scenic surroundings, and recreational amenities, Lydgate Beach Park is a must-visit destination for those seeking a safe and enjoyable beach experience on Kauai's east shore.
