Kee Beach Panoramic Photos
Kee Beach is one of the most visited beaches on Kauai. It's located at the north end of the island where the highway ends and in fact is the last beach accessible by car on the north shore. So it's literally located at the end of the road. The famed 11 mile gorgeous and treacherous Kalalau Trail begins at the western end of the beach. Kee's gentle ocean lagoon is best utilized in the calm ocean conditions of the summer. Several movies and min-series have been filmed here such as The Thorn Birds and Castaway Cowboys. A view of the entire Na Pali coast stretches westwards from this point. To the south of the beach, or to the right, you will find a less swimmable, but more stunning view of the coast and a less crowded section of the beach. It is generally too shallow to swim here, but it's far less crowded and gorgeous. Kee is protected by a reef that makes it a safe place for snorkeling and swimming. Kee Beach is also the beginning of the Napali Coast and the Kalalau trail that leads to Hanakapiai and Kalalau Beach. This special spot is beautiful at sunset. During the summer months the water can be as calm and clear as a swimming pool. During winter months dangerous conditions include high surf and strong currents. The facilities at the beach include restrooms and showers. The parking at this beach is limited and it is advisable to park in the dirt parking lot about a quarter mile from the end of the road. Kee's gentle ocean lagoon is best utilized in the calm ocean conditions of the summer. The lagoon is protected from waves by reefs which provide good snorkeling during these seasonal calms.
