Why locals recommend it

Is located at the end of the road and the farthest you can drive on the north shore. Ke’e is protected by a reef that makes it a safe place for snorkeling and swimming. Ke’e 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. There is no cell reception, but there is a payphone. 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. This is the overflow from the parking at the roads end. By 9 am the parking lot at Ke’e is usually full with hikers setting out on the Kalalau trail

Ke'e Beach is lovely for swimming, snorkeling, and sunsets. The trailhead to the Kalalau Trail is also nearby. If your plans include Ke'e, Haena, and Tunnels, you will need a reservation for entry. Check out GoHaena.com for information on parking, permits, and shuttles. The reservation window opens 30 days prior to your planned visit.

One of the most gorgeous beaches you will ever see. You will want to reserve a parking spot beforehand on Kalalautrail.org or you might be waiting a long time or turned away.

The snorkeling at Ke'e beach is good during the summer when the ocean is calm. In the winter months be prepared for large swells and rough conditions. Facilities and Lifeguard are available.
