  OVERVIEW  
     
  It's a good spot for swimming and getting an excellent view of nearby mountain ranges and ships coming in and out of Nawiliwili Harbor.

Ninini (pouring) Beach is so named because because of fresh water that runs out from under a bluff and across the beach during heavy rains. The beach also is known as "Running Waters" Beach. It's a good spot for swimming.

The Ninini Lighthouse is the most worthwhile reason to visit this beach. If there is someone on duty see if you can go to the top. You will have an outstanding view and will also be able to take some great pictures.

  DIRECTIONS  
     
  Hidden along a rocky coastline between Nawiliwili Bay and the lighthouse on Ninini Point. Ninini Beach and Running Water Beach are pocket beaches separated by a lava rock formation and protected by currents and winds. Take the road leading through the Kauai Marriott Resort and park at the golf course clubhouse. A path by the 13th green will take you to a steeper path that will lead you to the beach.  
     
  PLEASE NOTE  
     
  While Hawaii's beaches can bring much enjoyment, it is always a good practice to use common sense while visiting them. Please be aware of the wave & wind conditions before going into the water. Mornings are usually best for swimming, snorkeling or diving. Have respect for the strength of the waves and be aware that high surf can come up at any time. NEVER turn your back to the ocean.

Be careful when exploring any rocky shorelines. Waves can crash on the rocks and knock you over easily, and the rocks may also be sharp when walking on them.

When snorkeling or scuba diving, please have respect for ocean life, and remember that the coral reef is alive too. Avoid standing on or touching if at all possible.
