This is a terrific place and we really loved the location. We were unprepared for the traffic on this tiny island. Despite enormous waves, beach parking was sometimes a challenge. At 10 am on a Sunday we could not find a spot anywhere at Kē 'e beach, even though actually going into the water was impossible. If you are capable, the climb down to Hideaways Beach at the eastern point of Hanalei Bay is rewarded by a truly excellent and uncrowded beach with exceptional snorkeling. It's accessed by a path near the St. Regis resort.
