Honopu Beach

We did a boat tour to na Pali coast through Kauai sea tours and it was amazing. This beach was great with some caves. The view was beautiful with a lot of cliffs and hills. The beaches are secluded in the sense that one needs to kayak or swim from a certain place to get to these beaches. But it looked amazing from the boat as well.

The most marvelous beach one could imagine, in awe

Honopū Beach, Kauai. You don’t just stroll into this place with a water bottle and a dream. No trail, no road, no boat landings. The only way in is by swimming around the cliffs from Kalalau, and the ocean doesn’t care how bad you want that Instagram shot. It’ll try to kill you on the way in, and again on the way out. It’s that kind of beach. The kind that weeds out the influencers and lets in the lunatics. But if you make it, if you survive the surf and your own dumb courage, you’ll hit sand so quiet it feels like the world forgot about it. There’s a massive stone arch rising out of the beach like some old god’s leftover rib cage. They say the ancient Hawaiians buried their chiefs here and tossed the guys who helped into the ocean so they wouldn’t spill the secret spots. That kind of loyalty, that kind of silence. Now the beach sits there with its haunted bones and its movie credits, letting the wind do the talking. You feel small here, and you should.

You must take a tour to visit this place, it’s unbelievable, you won’t regret, you see a lot of dolphins, sea turtles and colorful fish

First, get yourself a Kalalau Trail permit. Then, hike into Kalalau (11 miles). Then, swim over to Honopu only if you are a great swimmer. The current moves toward Honopu so it's not too bad to swim there (20 minutes or so). Coming back to Kalalau is the hard part. It could take more than twice as long (40 minutes of swimming). It's hard but it's worth it to visit this amazing beach. Don't try it if you don't know exactly what you are doing.

Years ago when the kids were in high school, we found a guy in Hanalei to take us on a boat tour of the Napali Coast. The high point of the excursion was swimming from the boat to Honopu Beach. Fortunately, we were all good swimmers as the ocean there is treacherous. The sight of the beaches with the connecting arch was memorable and there was a small stream running from the mountain to the beach.

I came here from a Reddit post on r/minecraftseeds
