Kekaha Beach Park at a Glance
Located along Kaumualii Highway on the southwestern shore of Kauai, Kekaha Beach Park encompasses 15 miles of gorgeous
white sand.
Local residents love running 4-wheels down the expanse of the
beach. This is also one of the best places for
beachcombing, sunset walking and for anyone seeking
solitude.
The majority of those who frequent the beach are
surfers and bodyboarders. Surfers have a wide choice of surfing spots: Rifle
Range, Targets, First Ditch, Second Ditch, Whispering
Sands, Davidson and Inters. Shorefishing is another popular activity here.
Kekaha 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, especially during times of high surf. The pounding shorebreak is so powerful it has snapped surfboards in half. So before jumping into the water, approach a lifeguard and ask about the
water conditions. Avoid swimming when the surf is up.
