Wai'anapanapa State Park's coastline is wild and remote, a place of solitude with stunning natural and archaeological wonders to explore.
A stone arch and two fern-laden lava tube caves are within easy walking distance of the parking lot.
The ruins of a heiau, a place of worship, are found on the Hana-Waianapanapa Trail, a two-mile coastal path that runs from the park to Kainalimu Bay. The trail, a good family hike, offers gorgeous views and a close-up look at a hala forest.
Other hikes range from one to four miles. None require much climbing, but caution is advised because some trails traverse slippery rocks and come close to surf that can be quite rough.
The park's small black sand beach is good for snorkeling and shore fishing. Extreme caution is recommended, however, due to the unpredictable surf and currents.
Cabins may be reserved, but call up to one year in advance. There's also a campground available.
The park is located on Waianapanapa Road off the Hana Highway, about one mile from Hana.
