This 7-mile white sandy beach is breathtaking and considered to be one of the most beautiful beaches on Kaua‘i. The usually sunny beach is framed by the majestic Nāpali Coast with sweeping sand dunes that can get up to 100 feet high and you can catch amazing sunsets with views of Ni‘ihau. This remote area is a great place to stargaze. The only safe place to swim is in the Queen’s Pond where the fringing reef offers protection from the extremely strong currents when the surf isn’t high; beware of sharp coral. Picnic tables, showers and restrooms are available, but there are no lifeguards. Camping is by permit only. Please note, because the road is not maintained, rental car companies may not allow use of their vehicles on this park access road.

Located at the west end of Hwy 50. Take a left onto the bumpy dirt road and drive several miles and follow signs to the beach

4-wheel drive vehicle is highly recommended. There are no lifeguards and this beach has very rough, dangerous surf!
