Ha'ena State Park

Ha'ena State Park is filled with natural wonders and scenic wild lands. The park is open during daylight hours. There is no fee to enter the park. To get to the park one must drive to the end of Kuhoi Highway in Ha'ena, Kauai, Hawaii. The park is found on the north shore. It is still a popular destination for locals and visitors.

A key entertainment at the park is the wet caves. They are ancient sea caves carved by the high seas about 4,000 years ago. The legend says that Pele the volcano goddess dug the caves in order to find her new home.

In addition to the wet caves there are many other activities like shore fishing, sunbathing, and swimming at Ke'e Beach. Swimming is only possible when the conditions allow it. Na Pali Coast can also be viewed from the state park on walks and hikes. The cove with Ke'e Beach offers turquoise waters. Visitors can enjoy a picnic or stroll on the beach. There is a trail head for Kalalau Trail that starts in the park. It is an 11 mile hike. Onsite is limited parking; therefore, it is best to go early. The park offers restrooms and outdoor showers along with other facilities.
