Highway 56
East Kauai
North of Kapaa Beach is Kealia. This 150-foot wide,
1/2 mile long beach is popular with surfers and
boogie boarders. In the summer months the surf is
usually perfect and the riptide is not as fierce.
However, always check on ocean conditions yourself
before entering the water.

The north shore of the beach once
was used for inter-island steamer landings when nearby
Kealia was a plantation town.. A few ruins of the
dock still remain. In ancient times, Hawaiians would
gather salt from this area that formed on the sand
flats. Today salt is mined from the dunes adjacent
to the highway.
