Ke`e Beach

Kauai, Hawaii

Ke`e Beach is an ideal spot for swimming and snorkeling on Kauai and is one of the must see beaches on the north shore. Its warm, gentle waters are ideal for a casual dip or for viewing an abundance of fish and underwater wildlife. Ke`e is located at the end of the road and the beginning of the rugged Na Pali cliffs. When swimming and snorkeling, avoid getting too close to the far left side of the beach where currents can pull you around the point without a way to get back.

Because of Ke`e's popularity, its location at the end of the road, and because it's the starting point for hiking along the Na Pali Coast, don't be surprised to see hundreds of cars parked here. But don't worry, there's plenty of room on the beach and most of these cars are left behind by people hiking.

To get to Ke`e Beach, drive west from Princeville through Hanalei and Haena until the road ends.
