To get there it's quite a feat! And I'm not talking about those who rent a 4x4 to just drive all the way there....(challenging 4x4 driving, still). I'm talking about about leaving you're rental to the parking spot... And then walk all those 5 miles just to get there... But boy oh boy was it worth it! And then try to get to the beach on the hidden (and forgotten trail)...and then you're there...A small beach... But so intimate...And for the daring ones, on the far wall you can climb and hope not to fall :) And if you are really lucky, if you hit those waves in the small bay you can actuality swim with the big big and famous Hawaiian green turtles.... Aloha... And Mahalo :)

Really unique to see and location. Once above the beach, it's a short climb down the hill. Nothing high risk, there are some stairs and a clear path. If you plan on driving through the terrain to actual beach location a 4x4 is highly recommended, at a minimum a truck/SUV with good clearance and tires. I was in a 2015 2dr Jeep. As a disclaimer the locals might be "providing" transportation to the beach if you don't have the right vehicle or don't want to hike the 4miles (round trip). There will be a fee of $10- $20. They will load you up on the back of a pickup truck, standing room.
