This beach really has a lot to offer. Windsurfing, lounging, protected swimming, snorkeling and a lesson in ancient Hawaiian salt production - hence the beach's name. There is a natural salt pond near the beach that is used by descendants of Hawaiians to collect salt. Make sure not to poke around there without permission.

Salt Pond Beach Park remains closed. Kauaʻi County’s October 9 recovery update keeps the park and its pavilions closed. Wait for an explicit reopening notice before visiting or camping here.

Port Allen Airport public parking: HDOT’s October 14 notice extends the lot closure near Salt Pond Beach through Friday, October 16 for recovery work. HDOT plans to reopen the lot Saturday, October 17 when work concludes; confirm access before driving there. Sky Dive Kauaʻi remains operational. This parking update does not reopen Salt Pond Beach Park, which has a separate County closure.

There are restrooms, showers and a shady picnic area with grills here. Camping is allowed with a permit. To reach Salt Pond Beach take Highway 50 west from Kalaheo toward Hanapepe. Just past mile marker 17, turn left on Lele and right on Lokokai Road to the beach park.
