OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Haena Beach Park is one of the most poplar
beaches on Kauai. Directly behind Haena
beach the sheer face of Mount Makana
dominates the view with creepers and other
plants clinging to its side. Looking seaward
the northern Pacific stretches out to the
horizon.
Picnicking and camping are popular Haena
beach activities, but often you won't see
many people in the water. a sudden drop off
and undertow can make Haena's water
conditions treacherous, even with the
presence of lifeguards. Fortunately Tunnels
beach is just a quarter mile down the coast,
offering calmer waters in the summer and
some of the best Kauai snorkeling.
In the winter, heavy ocean swells make Haena
waters very perilous. It's not uncommon for
Haena lifeguards to close the beach for
everyone's safety. A big Haena winter swell
is well worth seeing, but please don't try
getting in the water at either Haena or
Tunnels when the waves rise.
Haena Beach Park is popular, in part,
because it is close to so many other
attractions. During the summer Tunnels alone
is a big draw, and Haena has one of the best
Kauai County campgrounds. |
