Pila'a Beach Photos

Pila'a Beach, Kauai

Pila'a Beach is a very sparsely visited beach on Kauai's north shore. It is difficult to access and since the nearshore ocean bottom is rocky, it's not a good beach for swimming. The beach is a good spot to just relax without the crowds, but since the trail to it is rocky, it's even challenging to bring a picnic basket.

Pila'a Beach Overview

• Remote beach with poor swimming conditions
• Sandy beach backed by lush cliffs

Location: End of N. Waiakalua Road, Kilauea, Kauai, Hawaii 96754

Directions: Drive N. Waiakalua Road almost to the end. Then take the dirt road that veers off to the left just before the end of the road. From here there is a foot trail on the right leading to Pila'a Beach (a 10-20-minute hike). Alternatively, one can see Pila'a Beach from a lookout point above the cliffs near the end of the dirt road.
