Ke'e Beach |
|||
![]() Kee Beach from the Kalalau Trail |
Description -- Ke'e Beach is literally the end of the road and marks the beginning of the NaPali coast and back country hiking trails. The beach itself offers stunning views, good snorkeling with friendly fish and turtles, and fine swimming. Good reef protection assures safe swimming even when the rest of the north shore has high surf. You -- and perhaps 500 other visitors -- park in an improved lot next to showers and rest rooms. You can walk to your right [generaly north east] about 1/2 mile until you get to Limahuli River. As you walk from the primary swimming area, the crowds die out and the swimming area becomes less desireable [full of rocks]. But the scenery remains spectacular. The adjoining land is Ha'ena State Park so there is no commercial development nor houses. You can continue to walk for several more miles to adjoining Haena and Tunnels beaches. Beware currents if the surf is strong -- especially in winter time. Avoid driving to the remote reaches of the beach as the locals do in their 4WD. A standard rental car will likely get stuck in the sand. |
