Hanalei Beach near Princeville Kauai


Hideaways Beach
Hideaways Beach	Description Hideaways Beach is an intimate secluded 300 ft long beach used mostly by Pali Ke Kua Condo guests, but open to anyone. It is accessed by an improved footpath down 200 vertical feet [about 300 steps]. There is calm water, nice swimming, great snorkeling, and good shade from huge kamani trees. Hideaways Beach is a great spot for a picnic lunch. The beach is neither crowded nor big. I think the most we've seen is 6 groups enjoying the fine golden sand and tropical blue waters. Hideaways beach is sometimes known as Pali Ke Kua Beach because this is the closest condo development. Arrive early to get parking. A difficult hike to the east would bring you to Kenomene Beach which otherwise only has a private entrance through area condo's. Further to the east is Queens Bath along the spectacular lava rock landscape.
