Lonely Planet review

With a wide, deep bay, Kalihiwai Beach is popular for many activities, such as swimming and, when the winter northwest swells roll in, daredevil bodyboarding and surfing along the cliff at the east end of the bay.

If you enjoy kayaking, the Kalihiwai Stream, which empties into the bay, offers perhaps the prettiest scenery of the island's rivers. Launch at the bay and paddle up into Kalihiwai Valley, where you can see or hike to Kalihiwai Falls. Note: the falls are on land leased by Princeville Ranch Stables and you might be shooed away). The beach has no facilities.

To get here, take the first Kalihiwai Rd, 0.5 miles west of Kilauea.
