Description
Named for the donkeys and burros that used to haul sugar cane at the plantations nearby, Donkey Beach is secluded and quiet. The shoreline here is usually rocky, but a few stretches of sand create lovely private mini coves. Once known as the best nude beach in Kaua'i, the new owner of the land that surrounds the beach has apparently hired security guards to enforce a no-nudity policy. The snorkeling at Donkey Beach is quite good, as the rocky shoreline creates all kinds of nooks and crannies for tropical fish.
