Kealia Beach at a Glance

Kealia Beach is a 150-foot wide and 0.5-mile long sandy beach located on a former Hawaiian plantation in Kauai’s Coconut Coast. Kealia means “salt bed” or “salt-encrusted bed,” a name referring to the traditional Hawaiian method of collecting and drying salt. Kealia Beach has been a site of salt mining for centuries.

While Kealia Beach offers limited swimming because there’s no reef to protect the beach from swells coming from the middle, this means plenty of waves to ride. Additionaly, the beach’s long sand bar constantly provides surf breaks that surfers and boogie boarders love.

On another hand, two rocky outcrops flank the beach and protect it from high swells coming from the east and west. Swimmers are advised to stay on the northern part of the beach, which is free of rip tides and is out of the way of surfers. This part of the beach was once used by inter-island steam ships that bring supplies for plantations here for anchorage. The remains of the jetty, formerly called Kealia Landing, are still visible from the shoreline.

As with most Kauai beaches, Kealia Beach is subject to changing seasons. During winter months, dangerous waves and strong currents characterize the beach. This beach has no lifeguard, so better stay out of the water if you are not familiar with Hawaiian waves.

Whatever beach in Hawaii you visit, please have in mind that the ocean can be very dangerous. Never turn your back against the waves and watch out for underwater currents and always check the surf conditions. Pay attention to signs posted on the beach. If you are not sure about the conditions, ask the lifeguards (if any on the beach). Please click here to read more about ocean safety in Hawaii.
