The beach is separated into three different parts: Gillin's Beach, Kawailoa Bay, and Hāʻula Beach.[1] The beach offers protection from the surf in parts and can be great[editorializing] for swimming. Fossils of extinct birds have been found in sand dunes along the shoreline, including the Kauaʻi Stilt-owl (Grallistrix auceps), a flightless rail, and three species of goose,[2] while close to the beach is the paleontologically important Makauwahi Cave.
