A large, beautiful and secluded beach on the north shore of Kauai in Hawaii, USA. This is not an oficial naturist beach but due to its remote situation it has become known for naturism.
The torquise sea and gold sand back by cliffs covered in tropical vegetation makes it easy to understand why people go out of their way to visit this beach and enjoy it as the location demands - in their own natural state.
The ocean floor is mostly sand with a relatively steep decline. Care should be taken while swimming specifically out of the summer season and baring in mind their are no lifeguards.
The beach is good for seashell hunting, surfing, snorkeling and fishing. The tidal pools that form at the west end of the beach offer excellent places for young children to paddle.
For those wanting to explore - about a quarter mile to the west of the beach is a substantial waterfall that plunges about 15 feet into the Pacific Ocean.
