Haena Beach is a slice of heaven where a lush tropical jungle meets white sand beaches and turquoise waters. The popular and very recognizable Mount Makana (Bali Hai) looms mysteriously above Haena Beach and offers a spectacular backdrop for sunsets and photo opportunities.
Haena Beach Park offers good swimming and snorkeling during calm conditions. Haena Beach is a fun beach to explore and do a bit of beach-combing and outstanding shell collecting. During the winter, the surf can be huge, causing dangerous shore-break and strong currents. You can watch from shore as experienced water men and women ride these awe-inspiring giant waves.
Haena Beach Park has a lifeguard station, restrooms, showers, and campsites. Camping permit only. One popular North Shore attraction is the Maniniholo dry cave across the street from Haena Beach Park.
