Hanamaulu Beach Park (Kauai County)

Hanama’ulu Beach offers up camping in a beautifully secluded spot just three miles from Kauai’s main city of Lihue. In fact, this beach is so beautiful that they filmed the John Wayne movie “Donovan’s Reef” here. And it serves as an oasis inside Kauai’s largest urban area. Take Highway 56 north out of Lihue and the airport. Three miles out of the city, turn right onto Hanama’ulu Road straight across the street from Hanama’ulu Cafe and 7-11. Continue on Hanama’ulu Road until you reach a fork in the road. You’ll find a beautiful campsite nestled into an ironwood tree forest on the left, and you can access the bay on your right.
