PK's
Edit SpotAbout
Fun spot. Good place for tourists to see kauai surfers in action.
Atmosphere:
Fun wave with reforms. The main learning spot for Kauai south side surfers. Most contests are held here and are always fun to watch when there are good waves. Holds up to 6 feet, and still fun at a foot.

Parking can be tight, but too bad. Blame the county
