Kalalau rock mitigation- Garden Island News

If you’re planning a trip to Kauai in the fall and have sunset on Kalalau Beach on your to do list, you’ll need to rethink that.  The DLNR will be doing  massive “rockfall mitigation” work on the south end of Kalalau Beach due to rockslide issues and the entire valley will be closed for at least two months starting in the beginning of September.  (Plan on that extending just because they may not know what they’re in for until they start the project) 

Some say that because of the lack of enforcement and regular maintenance of toilets in the area that this is a way for them to finally close off the Na Pali coast since there have been many injuries and deaths.  This is only speculation of course but if you have Kalalau on your bucket list, squeezing in a summer trip might not be a bad idea.
