Kekaha Beach Park at a Glance
Located along Kaumualii Highway on the western section
of the town of Kekaha, Kekaha Beach Park is the longest
continuous beach on Kauai spanning 15 miles of gorgeous
white sand. The beach stretches from Polihale southward
on Kauai’s west coast along the Mana Coastal Plain.
Locals love running 4-wheels down the expanse of the
beach. This is also one of the best places for
beachcombing, sunset walk, and for anyone seeking
solitude. The beach also provides a breathtaking view of
Niihau or The Forbidden Island across the Kaulakahi
Channel. Niihau is Hawaii’s smallest inhabited island.
Majority of those who frequent the beach, however, are
surfers, bodysurfers, and bodyboarders. The beach is
unprotected from the open ocean that produces strong
waves, strong rip currents, and nasty shorebreaks,
making the beach unsuitable for swimming and snorkeling.
Before jumping into the water, approach a lifeguard for
water conditions. Completely avoid swimming when surfs
are high.
Surfers have a wide choice of surfing spots: Rifle
Range, Targets, First Ditch, Second Ditch, Whispering
Sands, Davidson, and Inters.
Fishermen are constantly seen shorefishing at the beach
as well. Looking for fun when it’s raining everywhere
else on Kauai? Try Kekaha Beach Park; it’s always dry.
