Secret Beach

Secret Beach, Kilauea, North Shore, Kauai, Hawaii also known as Kauapea Beach

WOW! I am stunned! This beach is amazing. Takes about a 5 - 7 minute hike down a steep trail to get there, but well worth the trip! [I wore sneakers and though the trail was covered in needles and leaves, it would have been navigable in slippers, aka flip flops, or sandals]. Trip back up takes about 7 to 10 minutes.

The water was rough, especially for summertime, so not a great swimming beach, but it was cool and refreshing to play in the water when it hit the shore. There was a pool that formed between the rocks that was great for the kids and wading.

The sand was soft and the beach was incredibly wide and stretched along the coastline ~ estimated between a mile and two miles. Sand was hot and my feet sunk when I walked, closer to the water it was sloped but firmer and easier to walk along.

Just sit back, relax and enjoy the outstanding views of the lighthouse and coastline.

This is definitely not one to be missed or skipped on your visit!
