This is a pretty chill beach but has rocks close to shore. Not great to skim on if fall. Not much surf and is affected by the trade winds but great to relax at.

For a fine art print visit www.mattandersonphotography.com Upper Ho’opi’i Falls is a small waterfall along Kapa’a Stream. It’s near the town of Kapa’a on the east side of Kauai. I’ve been to +16 islands, and this has to be the prettiest waterfall I have ever experienced. When I was crossing the top of the falls, I fell, gear and all. Luckily I was able to absorb most the impact of my gear
