The Hideaway is best for snorkeling, if you are in the area. We would call this a good beginner scuba dive, but the climb up and down the bluff can be difficult with 40 pounds of equipment. Definitely take a drive there to check it out for yourself, if for nothing more than admiring the sights of the Princeville Resort.

Directions: On the North coast on Highway 56, turn into the Princeville Resort area at about mile mark 28. Drive 1.5 miles all the way up to just before the Princeville Resort gate, and you'll find beach access parking to the right, next to the tennis courts.

Watch for sharks, don't go in at dusk and when there is turbulence.  This is an out of the way beach with a steep stairway in disrepair down to the beach.  It ranks high for solitude and beauty.  We found it by looking in our guidebook Kauai Trailblazer.
