Located on the beautiful island of Kauai, the area known as Ke'e Beach is the most visited and popular beach on the island, with the notable Kalalau Trail originating at the western end of the beach.
A perfect place for tourists and locals to snorkel, the water of Ke'e Beach is filled with fish, such as the prized Ulua fish they are so known for. An area known as the Puka Ulua is an opening from the gentle lagoon into the sea where current area can become very strong, very quickly. Meanwhile, directions are simple to the Ke'e Beach area — take Highway 560 east past the area of Ha'ena to toward the end of the road.
A panoramic view of the Na Pali Coast is provided with a short walk towards the Ha'ena area. If continuing onto the Limahuli Stream, one of the largest and most "hippie colony on Kauai" is located — Taylor Camp. The area was founded by the brother of Elizabeth Taylor, with the state eventually condemning the land and evicting the 100 residents who lived there. Opposite the camp is the path above the reef channel, located along a low rock wall.
Above is the Ka Ulu a Paoa Heiau, an ancient religious site dedicated to Paoa, a friend of Lohiau, who was considered the lover of the volcano goddess, Pele. Located in a hillside cleft behind the platform is a shrine to Laka, goddess of the hula. A fascinating area, the beach is popular with many visitors as the start of the Kalalau Trail, the only foot path and land access to the Na Pali Coast State Park.
