Pakala's Beach is a hidden swimming spot and surf break. It's an ideal place to go for some alone time, a long walk or job down the beach, yoga, and some beachcombing. The compact fine sand is reddish, reflecting Kauai's famous red dirt on the west side. The beach is roughly 500 yard long and has a river running into the ocean. The surf break is called Infinities and is basically a locals only spot. The small rock pier to the east is a nice place to stand and watch surfers catch waves. The water is quite shallow and gradually gets deeper, so beach-goers can wade out a bit. Look for the trail head on the side of Kaumuali'i Highway just after mile marker 21.
