Blog Post - November 13, 2021
Shipwreck Beach is located on the south side of Kauai.
It's located in front of the Grand Hyatt Hotel.
You'll find parking along the street and a two parking lots.
As you walk towards the beach you'll see a beautiful grassy area and public bathrooms.
When you walk out onto the beach you can see some cliffs to the left and a long stretch of beach to the right.
There is a trail that you can take up to the cliffs and it also takes you to the Mahaulepu Heritage Trail.
This is what the roadside parking and parking lot look like:

As we got to the top of the trail, we went to the right to the cliff area. There is a big warning sign about the dangers of cliff jumping and standing on the edge of the cliff. Even with that warning, there were a lot of people cliff jumping. This is what it looked like.
