Pali Ke Kua Beach (Hideaways Beach)
Pali Ke Kua Beach (Hideaways Beach) Review
This is actually two very small pocket beaches separated by a narrow rocky point. The beach area itself is narrow and can all but disappear in wintertime. However, in summer, the steep, rocky trail (don't trust the rusty handrails and rotting ropes) that provides access reduces the number of beachgoers, at times creating a deserted beach feel. With patches of reef and a combination sandy/rocky bottom, the swimming and snorkeling can be good, although winter's high surf creates dangerous conditions. Don't attempt the trail after a heavy rain—it turns into a mudslide. Amenities: parking. Best For: surfing; snorkeling; sunset.
- Address: End of Ka Haku Rd., on dirt trail between parking lot and condominium complex, Princeville, HI, 96722 | Map It
- Location: North Shore Kauai
