Larsen's Beach

Larsen's Beach, aka Ka'aka'anui Beach, Kauai, Hawaii

Take a 7-10 minute walk down steep trail of large rocks and narrow path to Larsen's Beach

There was an immense feeling of privacy here today as I was the only one on the beach!

This is a long beach lined with large rocks along most of the shoreline and slightly coarse sand that is easy to walk on.

Added bonus: there are great shady spots to relax and read a book!

Be careful and swim at your own risk as the waters appear calm, but are known for strong currents and can be quite dangerous.

Amenities: none

Parking: Dirt area at the end of Larsen's Beach Road

Directions: Highway 56 between Anahola and Kilauea, turn onto Koolau Road (there are two, turn on the one on the Princeville side closer to mile marker 20 to follow these directions), drive about 1.1. miles and turn left onto dirt road (no sign but this is Larsen Beach Road), road immediately turns right and then left to head toward the ocean, follow to the end and park (there are a couple roads entrances at the beginning of Larsen's Beach Road, so when in doubt, stay left). Trailhead is at the end of the road facing the ocean.
