Half the allure of this beach is that it is not only a challenge to find, but also a challenge to find a parking spot and make the 120' trek down to it. There are only about 10 free parking spots with the rest being reserved for the hotel, home and condo owners of this heavily developed Princeville resort area.... More

This beach was right near our condo so we gave it a shot. We could see people out snorkeling in the clear waters from our lanai. It is a steep walk down a paved path but on the plus side there are benches along the route which come in handy when you climb back up. The trail leads to a... More

The beach is great but getting there is a different story. The path down is steep, slippery and treacherous. Disintegrating hand rail, worn fraying ropes are the only thing to hold on to. I am fit and in my flip flops slipped and fell. The rating is solely based on the path down.

This a beautiful hidden treasure of a beach. I wish access was easier. I thought I could do it, but I paid for it in sore out of shape legs that effected the rest of our vacation. However, it's gorgeous down there. Few people around. Sea turtle and even snorkeling. Take everything you need so you don't have to attempt... More

This is a beautiful area but like all beaches, the parking can be a nightmare. I suggest going early in the day..you get a parking spot & can pick your own piece of paradise near the warm blue water.

A short, steep walk down to this beach is totally worth it for the unspoiled beauty and unusual coral/rock formations just offshore. Not great for swimming, but wonderful for private relaxation...

I agree with JPax! Stay away. Go to Hanalei or Poipu. Nothing to see here (except me having the time of my life) Seriously, parking is VERY limited and you do not want to attempt the hike down if it has been raining. And going in the water in the winter months in not advisable and sometimes just crazy. But... More

Over the last 25 years we have easily enjoyed Hideaways Beach on over one hundred occasions. We still well recall that it was the beach featured in the prime "Hawaii" travel poster for United Airlines that for years hung in the offices of most travel agents. It enjoys some fantastic combination of deep white sand beach, heavy shade area toward... More

I love this beach and it has great snorkeling. I promise you won't like it. Stay away and leave it all to me.
