Description

Added by Elena P

A secluded beach in the north shore of Kauai.

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 beach, beware of mosquitoes, especially if you are hiking it back wet. The trail is steep in places, and can get very muddy and slippery after rain.

Nice little beach for those staying in Princeville. A short hike gets you there and it is generally uncrowded.

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...

Anini Beach Park

The shallow nearshore ocean bottom makes Anini a great beach to visit if you have kids. Anini Beach Park is also a snorkeler's delight - here you may spot Hawaii's state fish, the humuhumunukunukuapua'a (triggerfish) and uhu (parrotfish), kala (unicornfish) and other tropical fish. On the downside, there are some sharp corals and rocks on the nearshore ocean bottom, so take extra care when wadi...

Scramble the Okolehao Ridge Trail

They don't call it the butt slide trail for nothing— the Okolehao Trail (translated to iron butt, for more than just the glutes involved) —is a short drive from Princeville, just before Hanalei Bay. Filled with lush vegetation, ample wildlife, and stunning viewpoints, the full trail isn't for the faint of heart, particularly if it rains at all.When I embarked on this route I had no idea having...

Queen's Bath Trail

Soaking in Queen's Bath

Between the frequent rains and the often overcast forecast, Kauai is not always the typical Hawaiian tropical getaway people dream of. But there are few islands that offer the same majestic waterfalls, luscious valleys, world renowned breaks, and more. Like a handful of the island's other gems, Queen’s Bath is one of the spots that makes Kauai, well, Kauai.After driving through the town of Prin...

Diving in Paradise at Hideaway's Beach

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 beac...
