Aliomanu Beach is not the easiest beach to access, as you will have to park at the designated parking lot, then hike about 5 minutes through tall grass and weeds, then another 5-10 minutes boulder-hopping until you reach the sand.

I spent 2 nights here camping at Anahola Beach Park. For those traveling to Kauai on a budget, this…read moreis the place to be. It's only $3 per night for which you reserve a campsite online at kauai.gov. But upon arriving, it was basically pick your own area to set up your tent and survive the night. They don't offer space for anything other than tents. Although I picked Camper 07 ahead of time, there were no numbered campsite signs and so wherever there was free grass during both nights, I set up my tent. Btw, at least sleeping on grass is always a plus. There was no security or authority walking around and checking permits. The campground was crowded during both evenings. I was just grateful to have any sort of room. It got dark around 6:30pm and if you don't have your tent up and ready to go, you're pretty much struggling to do anything in total darkness. Also, I avoid leaving your tent set up during daytimes and trusting that it'll still be in the same place when you return by the end of the day. I'd play it safe and take down the tent, especially because there's too many unknown factors and campers occupying the same space. The good thing about Anahola Beach Park is its location. If you have early reservations to hike popular Kalalau Trail, it's only 26 miles away along the northern part of Kauai. Other nearby landmarks include... - 7 miles to the closest McDonalds. - 13 miles to Lihue Airport. - 13 miles to Kilauea Lighthouse. - 16 miles to Hanalei Valley Lookout. Some extra notes... - If you plug "Anahola Beach Park" into Google Maps, it's a reliable source to get you to the campground. - You can park on the side of the road next to the grass beside the tents. Though sometimes if you arrive late in the day, parking may be fully occupied. - There is a restroom house with flushable toilets but I don't believe they offered showers. I did also stay at Lydgate Beach Park where I'm certain showers were available over there. - At nighttime, most campers quieted down their conversations somewhat, but if you do want peaceful time, you may have to block out the noise. - There are picnic tables offered but I can't remember seeing any barbecue pits. - You can camp out here for a few nights of the week, but certain evenings they close the campground for cleaning. Besides Lydgate Beach Park, there's Anini Beach and Salt Pond Beach that offer reasonable camping accommodations. Overall, this Anahola Beach Park was serviceable for camping on the island of Kauai. It's a popular spot among the 4 primary campgrounds and it's the cheapest at $3 each night. I would just temper expectations. You're not getting much other than a small space on grass to rest your head.

Absolutely gorgeous beach! We rented bikes and took the trail here. We didn't walk through the tree…read moretunnel, but we saw it and snapped so pics--so cool! There's a bit of a trek from the bike path to the beach, with some overgrown vegetation, but once you're there, it's amazing. Kind of makes you feel like you're the only person on the planet because of how secluded it is. There was one other couple there already and my oldest thought she saw they were nude, so that may be allowed here. Definitely not a good place to swim since the waves are really intense. But man, what a beautiful beach!

Secluded Cove does not have a sand beach, but rather rock entry at any point that you might want to get in. So, when the water is rough, it's a bit dicey. I'm guessing this might be a better place to try early in the morning when the ocean will be a bit calmer. And, winter months might be better than summer and early fall.

Banter among them kept it light but they remained professional all while providing the best service and including all guests in convo. To top it off their "tour guiding" / related facts about the coast were great Aside from the team -- loved the smaller boat that could go into the caves, which also made the guest pool smaller around 15.
