Haena Beach Park

  • Address: Near end of Rte. 560, across from lava-tube sea caves, after stream crossing, HI | Map It

Fodor's Review:

This is a drive-up beach park popular with campers year-round. The wide bay here—named Makua and commonly known as Tunnels—is bordered by two large reef systems creating favorable waves for surfing during peak winter conditions. In July and August, waters at this same beach are as calm as a lake, and snorkelers enjoy the variety of fish life found in a hook-shape reef made up of underwater lava tubes, on the east end of the bay. During the summer months only, this is the premier snorkeling site on Kauai. It's not unusual to find a couple of food vendors parked here selling sandwiches and drinks out of their converted bread vans.
