A hidden gem if there ever was one. The reef is huge, the beach is quiet, and the snorkeling is excellent. The view from the top is picturesque and once you get into the water, it's even better.

This beach is easily found by driving into Princeville and heading toward the St. Regis hotel. The trail to the beach is just before you arrive at the hotel. There is a small public parking lot on the right, which leads to the trail. If the lot is full, don't worry, the St. Regis Resort will valet for your car for free. Just let them know you are going to Hideaway Beach.

The entrance to the beach is a rundown set of stairs. It becomes a little steep in places, and in certain spots, rope replace the metal railing. Take your time heading down to the beach and you will be fine. Keep in mind that there is no lifeguard so be careful when swimming and always have a partner.

Beer Reward Score 10/10 - muddy downhill rope exhibition is worth it for the secluded beach straight out of a corona commercial. Just bring something better than corona. Sunburn Score 4/10 - hike is covered, but beach is open depending on time of day. Geez bring bug spray though. Dehydration Factor 1/10 - you’re good. Thigh Penalty 1/10 - fresh thighs. Post-hike Chill 10/10 - St. Regis hotel has a delightful bar with sweeping views. Tahiti Nui where The Descendants was shot is nearby too.

I love this beach as there were not a ton of people here. The hike down makes it an adventure... wear shoes other than flip-flops! The view from the top is beautiful.

This is an incredible hidden gem. We would not have found it without a recommendation from friends before we left even though we were staying right near it. We were not diving, but I highly recommend this beach for anyone as long as you can handle the steep access to the beach. It gets kind of rough in spots. Incredible water and views.

Hike to Turtle Cave

Turtle Cave is located within a small bay on the Princeville side of Kauai. This hike requires swimming, repelling down a steep cliff and potentially high tides. This particular access point is located on private property, so you should be staying in one of the rentals or traveling with a guest. When you turn right on Edward Rd, make your second left just before the dead end. You will want t...

Hanalei Bay is one of the most scenic beaches on the north shore of Kauai. It features mountain views and a pier. In summer, the water gets calm and clear. It's perfect for swimming, SUP, and diving.

Kayak Camp on Miloli'i Beach

NOTE: The beach is closed in the winter months due to high surf. Be sure to work with a local guide to insure you do this adventure safely.The only way to reach Miloli'i is by Kayak. Unless you are going to be bringing your own kayak to the island chances are you will need to rent one from a company on the island. We had a good experience with Kayak Kauai. They offer a package called `Maveri...

Hike to Wyllie's Beach

Wyllie's beach is a small beach next to Anini beach. It is on the northwest side of the river mouth. There is a 0.8 mile trail down to the beach. The trail head is near the Westin Princeville. This is a handy beach for those staying in the Princeville area, as it is walkable from most vacation homes here. There are many trees and much shade on the beach. While hiking the trail to and from the b...
