Papa'a Bay Beach (Hawaii) is located outside the Anahola settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the Kauai island and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive.

"I was fortunate enough to witness one of the most stunning beaches I have ever laid my eyes on. However, it's imperative to take caution as the parking area is not secure. Unfortunately, my companions and I fell victim to local delinquents who broke into our vehicle and took our belongings."
