Location: |
On the north shore between Kilauea and Princeville. Heading west on highway 56, after passing Kilauea you will cross a long concrete bridge; take the next right onto Kalihiwai Road. Take the left fork as you go down the hill. It is a mile or two out that road and you can't miss it. |

Launch Site: |
Grassy rigging area. Plenty of parking. Lots of reef. |
|
Lake Size: |
Relatively small reef-surrounded bay, with a fairly narrow channel through the reef. |
|
Best Wind Direction: |
NE trade winds |
|
General: |
The most popular sailing site on this island. Celeste Harvel of Windsurf Kauai does lessons and on-site rentals here. This is the only windsurfing lesson/rental available on the island. Call in advance: 808-828-6838. When the wind isn't good enough for windsurfing, the snorkeling is about as good as any other site on the island. Trivia: was originally known as Wanini Beach, but the W came off the sign and was never replaced. |
