Hanalei Beach Park


Hanalei Beach Park Hanalei Bay is a gorgeous crescent bay ringed by a slithering sandy beach. There are actually four beaches that make up this ring, all with equally poor swimming. They are outlined below.
The waves at Hanalei draw surfers from neighboring islands to enjoy the surf. Even if you don't go in the water, Hanalei offers a striking mixture of green-draped mountains behind you and clear blue ocean in front.

Waikoko Beach
This reef-protected beach is located between the 4 and 5 mile markers on Highwy 560. Located on the west side of the bay, this beach can be popular during moderate surf, but the shallow water doesn't offer great swimming options. The path to the beach is near the 15 mile per hour sign.
Wai'oli Beach
The waters are nearly always treacherous for swimming here. If you decide to relax there, access is available by Weke Road which runs parallel to the curve of the bay.

Hanalei Pavilion Beach Park
Also accessed via Weke Road, this beach offers a lifeguard, facilities and plenty of action for body surfers and boogie boarders. Again, not so great for swimming.

Black Pot
Sounds bizarre, but the beach has nothing ominous about it. This is where the Hanalei River empties into the ocean and you may see some kayakers entering for a trip up the river.
Location: Hanalei Beach Park is located in the North Kauai Region
