Ke'e Beach

End of the Road Beach

Best Snorkeling Spot in Kaua'i


Must See

Address:
Hwy 560
Kauai, HI 96722

Description

This beach "at the end of the road" is one of the most beautiful and popular in Kaua'i, and it is easy to see why: the water is clear and blue, the sand is fine, and the stunning black lava cliffs and palm trees complete this postcard-perfect slice of island paradise. A number of films have featured the beach, including The Thorn Birds. The best snorkeling in Kauai is located around the reef at the lagoon here, and the waters are teeming with tropical fish. The Kalalau trail starts from Ke'e beach as well. Currents can be tricky in spots, and the waves can get big here in the winter, so make sure you ask locally about conditions before entering the water.
