Kalihiwai Beach

Beach with Summer Swimming, Winter Surf



Address:
Kalihiwai Rd
Kauai, HI 96754

Description

A lovely stretch of sand that is ideal for swimming in the summer months and for surfing in the winter, Kalihiwai Beach offers shady, grassy spots for family picnics. There are no lifeguards or bathroom facilities, and swimming is not recommended in the winter; although the high surf is a skilled surfer's dream, it can produce vicious riptide currents. The views out over Kalihiwai Bay are impressive.
