Baby Beach is situated near a residential area but does not have lifeguards or any other amenities, so please plan accordingly.

Baby Beach offers many fun activities including sunbathing, beachcombing, wildlife watching, picnicking, swimming, snorkeling, surfing, bodysurfing, tidepooling, bodyboarding, kayaking, canoeing, paddleboarding, surf-skiing, and boating. The nearshore part of the water near Baby Beach is shallow and it is also protected from rough waves by nearby large rocks, which makes it ideal for beginner swimmers - the beach received its name - Baby Beach - because it has water conditions and gentle waves that are ideal for kids. In addition, expert bodyboarders occasionally surf thrilling surfing waves that occur in the water beyond the large rocks. It is important to note that the water here is also warmer as compared to other nearby Kauai beaches. Baby Beach is also popular with snorkelers - depending on the time of the year, you can see many kinds of animals in the water near Baby Beach including Hawaiian monk seals, sea turtles, migrating whales between December and May, and many kinds of fish.  

You can also see Hawaiian monk seals and sea turtles resting and wandering on Baby Beach - it is important to note that Hawaiian monk seals and sea turtles are protected under a law named the Endangered Species Act of 1973, and harming them can result in a fine of up to $50,000 and possible imprisonment. If you are planning to swim or snorkel near Baby Beach, we recommend being careful because the water here is known to have unpredictable rip currents and dangerous waves, particularly during stormy weather and during winters. The rocks in the water near Baby Beach can also cause injuries. If you are planning to fish near Baby Beach, please ensure compliance with the local fishing regulations that can be found at the website of the Division of Aquatic Resources (which is a part of the State of Hawaii’s Department of Land and Natural Resources). If you like taking beautiful pictures and beautiful views, Baby Beach offers amazing Instagram-worthy views of the southern Kauai shore line and the Pacific Ocean, particularly during sunset

Getting to Baby Beach is easy - from either Hawaii Route 530 (which is also called Koloa Road) or Hawaii Route 520 (that is also called Maluhia Road), you need to turn towards Poipu Road. From Poipu Road, you then need to turn towards Lawai Road (which is also called Spouting Horn Road) and then towards Hoona Road. The stairway to Baby Beach is located along Hoona Road between house number 5142 and house number 5152 - there is a yellow post near the stairway. In addition, there are also a few free street parking spaces near the beach - we recommend being careful while parking at the street parking spaces along Hoona Road and avoiding blocking any residential car driveways while parking here. We recommend visiting Baby Beach early because the street parking spaces near the beach can occasionally get filled up quickly.

There are many attractions near Baby Beach. Moir Gardens are botanical gardens that were first developed in the 1930s - a distinctive feature of this site is that the gardens are situated in a drier portion of the Hawaiian archilegapo, and mainly non-native cacti and succulent plants grow prominently here rather than the native Hawaiian tropical vegetation. The Moir Gardens have also been featured in many publications including the book Great Gardens of America and Life and Sunset magazines and they also have lava rock ponds with Japanese koi fish and water lilies. Allerton Garden is an 80-acre botanical garden which was earlier the home of a Hawaiian Queen named Queen Emma and this garden was designed in the early part of the 20th century by artist and architect Robert Allerton and his son John Greg Allerton. The garden has many interesting “garden rooms” and it is home to a variety of interesting plant species including Moreton Bay fig trees and palm trees. In addition, the garden also has interesting pools, waterfalls, statues, and fountains - the garden has also been featured in many movies and TV shows including Jurassic Park and Magnum, P.I. If you are looking for another attraction near Baby Beach, Prince Kuhio Park (also called Prince Kuhio Birthplace & Park) is a recreational park that has a monument dedicated to Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole, who was a prince of the Kingdom of Hawaii, who was also born on this location. The park also has remnants of the prince’s home, along with an Ancient Hawaiian fishpond and a Hawaiian temple.
