The pathway commences on the southwestern side of the initial bridge as you approach from Poipu. Though it was a bit challenging during our visit, the expanse of shoreline was stunningly picturesque.

This beach makes it a perfect spot for those seeking a peaceful and secluded swim. Its secluded location offers a sense of privacy that is hard to come by at other popular beaches. This is the ideal place to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and immerse yourself in the calming sounds of the waves.

This beach is somewhat secluded and a perfect spot to unwind and witness the stunning sunset. Additionally, the beach has beautiful golden sand.

Located in a somewhat secluded spot, this beach may require a bit of effort to locate (be sure to reference the photos of the path from the road and look directly west of the mini bridge). However, the stunning vistas of Niihau and the sunset make it well worth the journey. You'll likely find yourself among only a handful of others on this pristine stretch of sand. It's worth noting that there are no restroom or shower facilities available, so come prepared.

Just a hop, skip, and a five-minute stroll away lies a delightful stretch of sandy beach. But don't expect any fancy amenities or creature comforts here, my friend. This is a no-frills kind of spot, where you'll need to bring your own shade and refreshments. But hey, who needs a beachside bar when you've got the sun on your face and the sea at your feet? So pack a picnic, grab your sunscreen, and get ready to enjoy a day of pure, unadulterated beach bliss. 😎
