Larsen's Beach

USA> Hawaii> Kauai>

Overview

hike4.0int

This spectacular hike follows the shoreline from Larsens Beach to Kepuhi Point. Along the way are two beautiful beaches, eroded lava benches, lush greenery, low hills, ironwood trees, coast views, tide pools and a sea arch. Plus amazing wildlife: there's a good chance of seeing frigate birds, Laysan albatross, crabs, sea turtles and monk seals. There's no official trail so a bit of beginner route-finding is required. Please keep back a respectful distance from wildlife.
