Hanalei, HI 96714
Kalalau Beach State Park in Hilo, HI is home to the stunning Kalalau Beach, nestled at the base of the Kalalau Valley on the Nā Pali Coast of Kaua'i. This remote beach is the final destination of the challenging Kalalau Trail, offering a 1-mile stretch of pristine shoreline surrounded by lush valleys and rugged cliffs.
Visitors can camp at the beach, with fresh water from a waterfall and composting toilets available. However, the high surf and strong rip currents make swimming near the beach difficult, and long-term campers beyond the permitted stay are considered squatters, adding to the unique local culture of the area.
