Mahaulepu Beach
Mahaulepu is one of Kauai’s
pristine coastal
wilderness areas just
10 minutes from Poipu Beach
Kauai’s Mahaulepu Beach is as remote as you can get, while still less than 10 minutes away from an iced cappuccino! Even reaching Mahaulepu is somewhat of an adventure. Continue beyond the eastern end of Poipu Road where the pavement gives way to a dirt road until you reach a “T” intersection. Turn right and proceed to a security shack where you may be asked to produce an I.D. and sign a liability release.

Nearby Poipu Stables offers trail rides to the beach. Before leaving for your adventure, pack drinks and snacks and an empty bag to tote your trash out. Mahaulepu is a pristine paradise, so please be sure not to leave trash behind.
