Kealia Beach

If the fresh Hawaiian breezes are calling your name, perhaps it's time to bring Fido and the whole fam to visit Kealia Beach. You'll have a pawrific time! Located along the region known as Hawaii's Coconut Coast, you will find this pawtastically beautiful oceanside haven. The beach takes its name "Kealia" from the method of salt-drying developed by people working in the region when the area was a hotspot for salt mining. The land was later repurposed as a plantation, and now is one of Kauai's most pawpular beaches.

You can bring your best canine pal to enjoy all areas of this pawsome beach; whether it be in the sand or the surf. Please do keep your pooch leashed at all times. 

Kealia Beach is easy to find nestled just off the Kuhio highway past the town of Kapaa. The beach itself is narrow but quite long, affording you and your pup lots of of white sand coast to explore. There is a pawpular walking area known as the Kapaa Coastal Path, or Ke Ada Hele Hakalae, which runs the length of the beach. You will love taking your pupper for a stroll along this path as it is the pawrfect place for catching sight of some whales or even just collecting some seashells. You will want to keep an eye as you wander because the beach can house sharp objects such as fish hooks, broken shells, or lava rocks which could hurt your pupperoni's paws. 

There are lots of pawsitively awesome things to do at this woofderful beach, including doggy paddling. The current can be strong at this beach, so stick to the shore if the waves seem rough. Bathrooms are available for the pawblic to use, and there are also showers on site. 

You will need to bring drinking water and cleanup bags from home for your main canine squeeze. Note that all doggoes visiting Kealia Beach must be current on vaccinations and be wearing an up to date city dog license tag on their collars. 

For a day of fun under the Hawaiian sun, stop by Kealia Beach. You and your pooch will have a barking great time!
