Howz it Brah!!! in kauai, check out poipou for some mellow surf. priceville is very nice but pricey. the tree tunnel is a must. but honestly I never have been to a beach in kauai I didn't snorkle. anywhere and everywhere. check out tide pools for nudis and random amazing inverts. we stayed at kauai beach resort on the southeast side and it was amazing. there is also a botanic garden that is absolutly amazing. It's also a hikers paridise. have a great trip. p.s. if the locals tell you that are not welcome at a certain beach or bar.heed the advice and stay away, for the most part the are great people and are very welcoming...
