22° 12.6′ N · 159° 35.9′ W
A boulder-and-sand beach at the mouth of Hanakapiai Valley, 2 miles in along the Kalalau Trail, framed by the first big Na Pali cliffs - a place to look, not to swim.
Practical
State Parks warns of dangerous rip currents and reports drownings at Hanakapiai Beach. Boat or kayak landings are NOT permitted here (State Parks boating page). Reach it only on foot from Kee Beach with a Haena State Park reservation. Coordinate: USGS GNIS.
