    Stunning hike along the coast
    Beautiful views at every turn! We loved walking this trail and enjoyed spending some time at the Maha'ulepu Beach, which was significantly less crowded than any other beach we visited. I would say it's a trail that is accessible to most fitness levels, though I would recommend close-toed shoes since there are some rocky spots.

    A great hike with a big reward at the end
    A bit technical and at 4 miles a bit long. We stopped at the Maha'ulepa Beach after seeing the sink hole and Makawauki Cave but were so happy we did this hike. We actaully went back to Maha'ulepa Beach a 2nd time because if was so beautiful (and mostly deserted) and managed to walk another 1/2 mile of the trail along the beach. A great way to spend a day in Kauai.
