LOCATION DETAILS
Honopu Beach, on Kauai’s Na Pali Coast, features a 90-foot natural arch in the middle that is large enough to fly a helicopter through. In fact, that’s what happened in the 1976 movie Acapulco Gold. When Hollywood needs a dramatic, exotic, tropical beach, they often head to Honopu. Movies filmed at Honopu include the 1976 remake of King Kong, Six Days Seven Nights, Pirates of the Caribbean ‘On Stranger Tides’ and Honeymoon in Vegas. The massive arch separates the beach into two coves, each framed by steep sea cliffs. For added effect, there’s a waterfall on one side that flows onto the beach from the Honopu Valley. There’s also sand dunes on both sides! The name Honopu means “conch shell” in Hawaiian because of the conch-like sound the arch makes in high winds. The beach is also called Cathedral Beach because of its spectacular, soaring appearance.
It doesn't get anymore remote than Honopu Beach on Kauai. No road or even a hiking trail leads to it. In fact, the only legal way to access it is to swim to it. Trying to reach Honopu Beach is an adventure that is certainly not for everyone. It takes a very strong swimmer to get there. And it takes fins, or full wetsuits , and mask and snorkel to get there. Things can go wrong and have serious consequences.

SYNOPSIS
In the South Pacific, in Polynesia, on the island of Makatea, Quinn Harris, a taciturn pilot, leads a quiet life, content to earn a living by transporting goods in his De Havilland Beaver. His life is exactly as he wants it to be—until he meets Robin Monroe, a sophisticated and determined woman, the assistant editor of a New York magazine, on vacation for a week with her boyfriend, Frank Martin. An urgent work assignment in Tahiti, the neighboring island, forces Robin to reluctantly hire Quinn to fly her there. But a violent storm forces them to make an emergency landing on a deserted island. This unlikely pair avoids each other at first, until they are forced to team up to escape the island... and evade the pirates who are after them. Danger and temptation are never far away...
