There’s no arguing here: the Hawaiian Islands are home to some of the world’s best beaches. With nearly 750 miles of stunning coastline and countless magnificent beaches, we could write about every single beautiful beach found along the coast of the Hawaiian Islands, but today, we’re sharing with you one of the most unique. 

Tucked away on the north shore of Kauai, just south of the Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge where the Kilauea Stream enters the Pacific is Kahili Beach, a unique slice of paradise you’re sure to love.

Bordered by a densely vegetated hill as well as a rock quarry, this stretch of sand is often referred to as Quarry Beach or Rock Quarry Beach. Used during the plantation days and long since abandoned, the rock quarry overlooks the bay.

The main attraction of Kahili Quarry Beach is the large natural pool formed where the Kilauea Stream flows into the Pacific Ocean. Swimming and fishing are popular activities here and you can also launch a kayak here for a trip up the Kilauea Stream.

Because the beach isn’t protected from high ocean waves by an offshore reef, it’s advised not to swim or snorkel here during periods of high surf. Bodyboarding and surfing conditions, however, are excellent.

There are no lifeguards on duty here, nor will you find restrooms or picnic tables, but its remote and rustic nature is part of what makes this beach appealing.

Backed by ironwood trees, this slice of fine, white sand deserves a spot on your Kauai beach bucket list. Tourists rarely make it to this spot and — depending on when you visit — you might have the entire beach to yourself.
