It's small and to be honest, the beach at the beginning of the trail is far nicer and you can actually swim at it.
This I agree with completely.
Kauai was my favourite island - I've been to all of them save Molokai, and it's the most relaxed, most "traditional" (what I think of as Hawaii 50 years ago) and the least tourists.
I loved driving around the island - from one end to the other gives you tons of stuff to do. There's a ton of things to see in the Waimea Canyon area; small restaurants off the highway to try out, there's a cool-looking tree tunnel somewhere near Poipu, but I don't remember where.
Beaches on Kauai are dangerous. Be very careful. |
Yeah, to be fair we enjoyed the beach for the views and the crazy waves, it's definitely not for swimming. But as a stop for lunch midway between ocean cliffs and an amazing waterfall it does quite nicely!
