Haʻena State Park
Hāena State Park is a state park on the north shore of the Hawaiian island of Kauai. It is often called the "end of the road" and marks the endpoint of the Kuhio Highway. The park provides access to beaches, trails, and several ancient Hawaiian sites, including sea caves estimated to be more than 4,000 years old. Archaeological sites associated with the hula, including a heiau (shrine) dedicated to Laka, are above the park's beaches. Description

The beach has a relatively safe lagoon, but very strong currents have been reported at the bay, especially in the winter. Amenities at the park include pay phones, picnic tables, restrooms and outdoor showers. Limahuli Stream enters the ocean at the park's eastern edge. South of the park, Makana mountain soars above Limahuli Garden and Preserve in the valley. Just before the Kēē beach is the Kalalau Trail trailhead, an  footpath that is the only land access to Nā Pali Coast State Park. The area surrounding the beaches is vegetated by ironwood trees, coconut palms, ti, and guava. A little over an hour's drive from Lihue and  west of Hanalei, Hawaii, the  is at the terminus of the Kuhio Highway (Hawaii Route 560). A parking reservation with an entry fee is required. The daily limit is 900 people. Beaches

Kēē Beach is at the park's western edge. This beach is west of Tunnels Beach (aka "Makua Beach" at Haena Point), which refers to the large waves that are thought to be ideal for surfing. Kēē Beach has a unique reef lagoon that makes the water calm and attractive for snorkeling and swimming. Beyond the reef, very strong currents, especially in the winter, have been reported. In Hawaiian, Kēē means "avoidance", referring to stories in Hawaiian mythology about the goddess Pele and Lohiau. Hāena Beach is just east of Haena State Park. Haena is Hawaiian for "red hot". The beach is located at . Management
An extended closure of the park due to the 2018 flood damage to highways and bridges along Kuhio Highway provided an opportunity to negotiate a parking and concession agreement with a local non-profit. The park is being used as a destination management example for state parks that are environmentally, culturally or historically unique. References
