Queen’s Bath is a unique tide pool on the island of Kauaʻi, Hawai’i. The swimming area is accessible via a short trail. It was really tough and muddy this time of year but worth it for the views! If you don’t have linen, try a light cotton fabric like this Pineapple-Print Short-Sleeve Sport Shirt and pair it with Seersucker Swim Trunks.
