Port Allen - all beaches

As many others have mentioned, accessing this beach is not easy! However, it is undeniably one of the most stunning and secluded beaches in the world! To locate this beach, I received directions from a local guide whom I hired to show my family and me around the island. Initially, I had doubts because his instructions began with, "the entrance to the path leading to the beach is through a locked gate followed by a sign with skull and crossbones." After a 20-minute hike through a dense path lined with trees, occasionally just inches away from a rocky cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean, we were greeted by a breathtaking sandy beach surrounded by lush greenery. While the beach itself was incredible, the tranquility and seclusion we experienced as the only ones there made the hike completely worthwhile. Visiting this beach was undoubtedly one of the highlights of our trip, and I have made a personal commitment that when I plan my next trip to Kauai, I absolutely must find a way to rent a home as close to this beach as possible, or alternatively, a boat that can be anchored in its bay.

This beach is really lovely and offers some fantastic snorkeling opportunities. It's sheltered by a rock barrier, which provides a sense of safety. You can enter the water from a sandy area, which is a welcome change from the rocky terrain of Poipou. The beach has bathroom facilities and a lifeguard on duty, making it a great option for families.

Very quiet cove.

Without a doubt, this beach is my absolute favorite. It's not widely known, but it's the perfect place to take a dip in the water without being overwhelmed by waves. It's a hidden gem for swimming enthusiasts.

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 charming beach is perfect for those looking for a unique adventure. While it may not be ideal for swimming, it offers plenty of entertainment for a few hours. You can spend your time searching for glass fragments in the sand or discovering the countless hidden treasures buried within the cliffs. For the more daring visitors, there is the option to climb down and explore the fascinating lava rocks and tidepools located across from the cemetery. However, it is important to respect the sacred burial grounds and avoid entering the cemetery.
