Glass Beach
Glass Beach isn’t mentioned in most guidebooks, and there are no signs directing drivers to it, but it can be a bonanza for collectors of sea glass. The shoreline of Glass Beach is covered with millions of brown, aqua, clear and blue sea glass pebbles.
The glass found at Glass Beach was mainly from broken bottles and auto glass dumped by Swiss Cheese Shoreline on the western end of Kauai.
Glass Beach is best for beach combing only. Please don’t take any of the glass, leave it for others like you to enjoy for many years. This beach is easy to find, just look for the large tanks of gasoline near Port Allen. A tip for husbands: make sure to bring a comfortable chair when visiting this beach with your spouse.

Milolii Beach
There are two legal kayak landing areas along the coast. This is one of them! Kayak landings are prohibited at all other beaches in the park, including Honopu and Nu’alolo Kai.
Kayaking also affords you a camping option not available to hikers. Beyond Kalalau Valley, there are several valleys and offshore reefs. Milolii Valley is accessible by boat only, and camping is allowed here during the summer months. Permits are required to stay overnight. However, day use landings are allowed during the summer (May 15 through Labor Day) without a permit. Milolii has a channel through the reef facilitating boat landings on the sand beach.
The only way in here is by boat! Arrange to have a commercial boat operator to drop you off and pick you up.
