Kauai: Donkey Beach *

Secluded private nude beach
Traveling north from the airport on Highway 56, past Kapaa, drive 1/3 of a mile past mile marker 11 (the second dirt road on the right). You should see cars parked along the road. You'll have to hike down the cane road. As you get close to the water stay left and climb over to the beach. The far end is the nude beach and the gay area. Trees surround the beach if you need to take a break from the sun. There are no facilities here, so bring along anything you might need and clean up after you go. There are some reports that the owners of the land have hired security guards to stop nude sunbathing, let us know your experience.

    questionable...
    Several people running around nearby, security truck stopped and watched us walk across the road... only spotted one gay person that was hanging around the rest rooms... no one on the beach.. not sure this is a good idea or even the spot to go...

    Beautiful Beach
    Usually pretty deserted. Be aware of the tides as it tends to get pretty rough. You have to walk down a trail, not a very steep one. Visitors should be aware that sometimes cars get broken into in the parking area as it is far from the beach and cant see it once you walk down.

    Donkey beach
    I so wanted to see some skin. But the only skin i saw was a tiny child who stripped down and tried to run away from its mom. Its a nice beach just not a nude or nude-ish beach. Lots of famlies and peope runnig and on bikes

    Its now more open
    The beach now has a paved parking area and bathrooms at the parking area but you still have to walk down to the beach down a path. Many people visit the parking lot has cars alot of the time.

    ALMOST GOT ARRESTED!!!!
    Back in Waikiki my bf and I picked up a gay directory for the Hawaiian islands. Needless to say...when we visited Kuai and tried visiting Donkey Beach we found ourselves trespassing through private property. A cop almost arrested us!!! HEY GAY BOYS, DONKEY BEACH IS A NO MORE!

    Secluded No More
    The lands immediately surrounding the beach is now part of the County's park system. A bike/pedestrian path is going in along what was once the old dirt haul cane road. There's even a parking lot and restroom up above near the highway where you start your little hike down to the beach. It's still a beautiful beach! But, it's not very secluded anymore. Gays & nudists have probably already found a different spot!
