Kekaha
has the unique distinction of being the most western city in the United States, and the site of Hawaii’s one and only train robbery! Located on the extreme southwestern coast of the island of Kauai, Kekaha is a culturally diverse town of approximately 3500. It is known for its beautiful climate, which is dry almost year round and with an average temperature in the 70s. Just west of town is Kekaha Beach Park. This south shore beach runs for miles and is the longest white sand beach in all of Hawaii. The beaches are often secluded and those who do discover this island paradise think its one of Hawaiis best kept secrets. Beach activities include swimming, shore fishing, surfing and sunbathing. Be sure to also visit the Kekaha Farmer’s Market every Saturday in Kekaha Park for locally grown produce. Kekaha is also known as the gateway to Kokee, a cool mountainous State Park that is home to the Waimea Canyon. This incredible mountain area is often called the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific,” and is a prime location for hiking, mountain biking, trout fishing, camping and exploring. Points of interest along the way include the Kokee Natural History Museum and the Waimea Canyon Plaza and Waimea Canyon General Store.

Kekaha Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
Southwestern Kauai is the sunniest, driest part of the island. The northern part around Hanalei is the rainiest. With warm, gentle temperatures and cooling tradewinds, the climate on Kauai is never too hot or oppressive. The biggest contrast in the weather is the difference in the amount of rainfall between the rainy season of winter (October through March,) and the dry summer season (April through September.) There is very little variation in temperature, except in higher elevations where it is cooler year round. Overall, you will find more variation in temperature with location, rather than season. On the island of Kauai, the waters are calmer in the summers and the tradewinds blow more frequently. Storms such as hurricanes are infrequent, although the threat does exist.
