How to get there

This image was taken at Queen's Bath, which is on Kauai in Princeville. The best way to get to this location is by car. When you're on the way to this location, it might seem like you're in the wrong neighborhood because you'll be passing by a lot of golf courses, but not to worry—you're going in the right direction. There'll be a small parking lot off of Kapiolani Road where you can park your car (22.227582, -159.486155) and there will also be signs that'll guide you to Queen's Bath. After making the short hike down to rocks where you can see the ocean, make an immediate left and walk along the rocks for about five minutes toward the tide pool. This walk is short, but it can be dangerous so proceed with caution.
