About Haʻena State Park

Haʻena State Park sits at the far end of the road on Kauaʻi's north shore. Visitors can see restored taro terraces, swim and fish at Kēʻē Beach, and reach the Hanakāpīʻai beach and falls. The park is also the trailhead for the Kalalau Trail into the Nāpali Coast wilderness. Entry and parking require advance reservations for non-residents, and the park has ancient sea caves and hula-related archaeological sites above its beaches.
