Haʻena State Park

Located on the north shore of Kauai, Haena State Park contains a series of sandy beaches beside steep cliffs and dense rainforest landscapes.

Native Hawaiian communities maintained taro fields and fishing grounds within the area now known as Haena State Park for many generations before its designation.

The park preserves ancient agricultural terraces and sacred sites, including traditional taro cultivation areas that demonstrate Hawaiian farming methods.

Visitors need advance reservations to enter the park, with separate fees for non-residents and free access for Hawaii residents with valid identification.

The park serves as the gateway to the Kalalau Trail, an 11-mile path that provides the only land access to the Na Pali Coast.
