Picnic Lunch at Lydgate Beach Park

Since it was our last day in Kauai we had to check out of our condo by 11 a.m. Tom and I made wraps and drove to Lihue to spend the rest of the day since our flight didn't leave until 11 p.m. We found this really nice park, Lydgate Beach Park. It had covered picnic tables where we ate our lunch as we looked out over the ocean. The beach here seemed to collect a lot of driftwood which was usually not the case. Also, very few seashells were on any of the beaches that we saw. This beach had a couple of "swimming holes" that made it a safe place for people to swim. They blocked off the large waves with walls made of huge lava rocks. In the parking lot were the cutest chicks with their mother hen. The park also had a large open pavillion where people were picnicking on this Veteran's Day in 2011.
