Queen's Bath

The Ultimate Kauai Guidebook mentioned a good place for swimming - the Queen's Bath by Princeville. Princeville is one of those horrible planned communities that some Americans seem to like in exotic places - think of a military base crossed with Stepford and you have it. Anyway, after a very steep and slippery walk down the cliff side you traverse some old lava rock to come to a fine natural swimming area - the Queen's bath, fed by waves at high tide.



It's kind of hard to get in and out. Judi slipped and got a small abrasion.



The view along the coast is spectacular (of course):



After that we went on to Hanalei (the original for Hanalee in "Puff the Magic Dragon") and ate some fine roadside food at the Hanalei Mixed Plate. Judi had Swordfish Caesar Salad and I had Tofu in Coconut Pesto. Amazing.
