View Original Description
Shipwreck's Beach (also known as Keoneloa Beach) is located in the southern coast of Kauai, Hawaii. It has a nice sandy beach with a step shore break which makes it a popular body boarding beach. The beach is located in front of the Grand Hyatt Hotel and has parking just beyond the hotels main entrance.
Between 200 and 600 A.D., early visitors arrived at Keoneloa Bay, meaning long sand, likely from the Marquesas Islands. They used the area as a temporary fishing camp, leaving behind stone-age tools, remnants of heiau, or temples, and ahu, or altars. They prayed to Kane`aukai, an important fishing god.
