Can you walk to the beach from Princeville?

Just down at the end of Ka Haku Road, near the Princeville Hotel, is Pu'u Poa Beach, best for swimming in the summer when the surf is low. Its 191-step staircase will give you a good work-out, too! Head south about 2 miles and you'll find Anini Beach, a very safe and shallow beach with a fringing reef.
