Review:

Waimea Beach is a stunning black sand beach on Kauai's western shoreline, not to be confused with the popular surfing beach of the same name at Waimea Bay on O'ahu. The unique beach is one of the best vantage spots on the island to glimpse stunning sunsets over the Forbidden Isle of Niihau, perfect for couples looking for romantic beach strolls during the evening hours. Behind the beachfront, coconut palms and old-growth banyan trees line the coastline, making for picturesque scenery.

What's a good fishing spot in Kauai? Fishing is popular along at Waimea Pier, with ample space to stretch out on the shore and enjoy picnics at day-use sites.

Stay here: The nearby (Waimea Plantation Cottages) are a popular site for family reunions, weddings, receptions, and group vacations.
