Kalalau Beach

The beach is approximately 1 mile long, with trails snaking through the rest of the valley where people in hiding are rumored to live.

In years past, companies offered a landing service, boating hikers in and out of the beach so that they could hike the trail easily.

Water from the waterfall should be purified by boiling or iodine pills, due to the threat of leptospirosis, a bacterial disease spread through contact with infected rat and goat urine.

The goats are a non-native species, and to prevent overpopulation the Department of Land and Natural Resources allows hunting on weekends in August and September.

[citation needed] Mango, guava, passion fruit, and cherry tomatoes are abundant in the valley and are cultivated by the locals.
