North Kauai
Queen's Bath is one of the most unique and refreshing
swimming areas on the island. The "pool"
is carved into a lava shelf and is the size of several
large swimming pools. The government has recently
closed this site during
the winter months due to law suits from tourist
who have been hurt from natural conditions.

When the surf is cooperating, usually
in the summer months, the water is calm and crystal
clear. However, if the surf is pounding you can't
even find the pool.

A small, freshwater stream flows
nearby and is the perfect place to rinse off after
sunning and swimming in the Bath.

Views of the ocean and the rocky
shoreline here are fantastic. Even when the surf is
fairly calm, waves crash on the rocks shooting spray
high into the air. Small fish and tiny sealife also
call Queen's Bath home.
