Kekaha Beach Park — Attraction in Kauai

in his review, Michael is talking about Polihale, not Kekaha beach park. .. which by the way isn't called Kekaha Beach Park but is named MacArthur Park after a local steward. Macarthur park is just a small section of beach along the road, it was nearly all gone recently as the sands have been eroding steadily since the installment of the breakwater of the nearby small boat harbor, no correlation implied ; ) It does have a lifeguard and if you count portas as bathrooms, it has two along with small picnic pavilions. Sunset is amazing here as you can see Ni'ihau and Lehua in the west, but the ocean isn't usually great for swimming as its often brown, rowdy or has strong currents. Also the park is near to the dump so litter from trash transport gives the appearance of being a trashy place, and the encampments across the street only magnify that. You will definitely want to wash off after bathing here as the majority of westside cesspools leak and the ag ditch water drains here too... if you're visiting you should strongly consider other options especially the nearby salt pond park, which is safe and has good swim, snorkel, facilities, seals, and sunset MacArthur is used daily by many locals, if you do visit the park, respect peoples space and watch out for hammerhead and...

Kekaha Beach Park is an absolute paradise! One of the highlights is the stunning rock cliff on the beach side, which creates a dramatic backdrop against the vibrant blue waters. It’s perfect for those wanting to take some breathtaking photos or just relax and enjoy the view.

What makes this beach even more unique is the ability to drive on the beach with capable vehicles. It adds an adventurous twist to your visit, but be warned—the sand can be very soft, so make sure your vehicle is suited for it to avoid getting stuck!

This beach park is also a fantastic spot for sunrise and sunset lovers. Watching the sun rise over the horizon in the morning is truly magical, casting beautiful colors across the sky and reflecting off the water. Similarly, the sunsets here are equally mesmerizing, with the sun dipping below the horizon and creating a stunning display of oranges, pinks, and purples.

Kekaha Beach Park is well-equipped with amenities, including pavilions for shade and gatherings, port-a-potties on-site for convenience, and a lifeguard tower for added safety. Whether you’re looking to explore, relax, or simply enjoy nature’s beauty, this park has it all. It’s a must-visit for...

On our way back from Waimea Canyon, we stopped at this inviting little park to snap some photos of Ni'ihau on a gorgeous sunny day. Walked down to a soft sandy beach with some nice waves breaking, to get some pics of the "Forbidden Island" so stunning. Had fun playing in the waves for more than an hour as the water was quite warm, but we were careful because the waves are quite powerful. Some shaded picnic tables, restrooms, a life guard tower, and sand to the north that curved out of sight. The sunset on this huge beach was outstanding and very different from your typical sun over the water because of its position on the southwest coast. Would definitely spend some quality time here on a return...
