Question about beaches and Ni'ihau

It is my understanding that all beaches in Hawaii are public. Also, I understand that Ni'ihau is the "forbidden island" since it is privately owned.

So, wouldn't that mean I can technically go to Ni'ihau and walk the beaches legally?

Note: I am not planning to do this, I am just trying to understand these interactions of these two statements.
