Lonely Planet review for Shipwreck Beach

Expert surfers, bodyboarders and bodysurfers flock to the half-mile-long sandy Shipwreck Beach at Keoneloa Bay, which fronts the Grand Hyatt Kaua'i Resort & Spa. The pounding shorebreak and high surf are ideal for advanced riders but novices and swimmers should go elsewhere. A couple of near-shore breaks attract local board surfers as well. Toward the left of the bay, daredevils leap off Makawehi Point, the gigantic rock cliff.

The name comes from, yes, a shipwrecked wooden boat that washed ashore and remained for years. In 1982 Hurricane 'Iwa swept the boat back to sea.
