Ke'e Beach

Ke'e Beach is located on the island's northwest coast. It serves as the beginning of the Kalalau Trail, which runs down the coast through the Hono'Onapali Natural Reserve and then into the breathtaking Na Pali Coast State Wilderness Park.

This is one of Kauai's premier snorkeling spots during the calmer summer months, and the protected reef is alive with tropical species. Kayaking trips in the lagoon are also available to tourists, providing great views of the surrounding environment.

One of Ke'e Beach's most distinctive features is its population of wild chickens, sometimes known as wild roosters. These vividly colored birds may be found on the beach every day, and while they make for beautiful photos, be cautious that they can also steal your food.
