Haena State Park

Reservations are now required to park at Kee Beach at the north end of the island and fill up very quickly. If you plan to go to the beach (which is fantastic!) or hike the famous Kalalau Trail, please book your parking or shuttle reservation online at Go Haena. To us, this is God's Country! The further north you go, the more magical Kauai gets.
