Gillins Beach, Coastal beach in Koloa, Hawaii
The long stretch of sand at Gillins Beach extends along the south shore of Kauai, featuring rock formations and coral reefs near the shoreline.
Native Hawaiian communities have inhabited the surrounding areas of Gillins Beach for generations, maintaining their connection to these coastal lands through time.
The beach environment reflects traditional Hawaiian practices of land and ocean stewardship, where local residents continue their customs of fishing and gathering.
Visitors need a four-wheel-drive vehicle to access Gillins Beach through an unpaved road that branches off from Poipu Road past the Grand Hyatt.
The secluded location of Gillins Beach, combined with its limited accessibility, results in fewer visitors compared to neighboring Kauai beaches.
