OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
This section offers a popular day hike for
able-bodied hikers. Walking the first half
mile will reward you with excellent views of
the coast. The summer sand beach at
Hanakapi'ai is a popular destination for day
hikers. Swimming or wading can be dangerous,
however, and is not recommended. The surf
and rip currents are variable and often
extremely treacherous, but worst in winter
when high surf conditions prevail. DROWNINGS
OCCUR HERE REGULARLY! Allow 3 to 4 hours to
complete the round-trip hike to Hanakapi’ai
Beach.
An unmaintained 2-mile trail into
Hanakapi'ai Valley leads to a waterfall.
After crossing the stream about a mile up
the valley, the trail becomes more difficult
as it meanders over rocks and fallen trees.
The upper half of this trail should be hiked
only in good weather to avoid dangerous
flash floods and falling rocks.
Allow a full day to complete the 8 mile
round trip from Ke’e Beach to Hanakapi’ai
Falls. |
