Ka'ena Point
Ka‘ena Point State Park is a relatively remote and wild coastline park on O'ahu's most northwestern point, and is amazing for hiking. The hike to the KaÊ»ena Natural Area Reserve at the point from either section trailhead is about 2.5 miles one-way along a volcanic coast with mountain and ocean views. Observe marine mammals, sea birds, native invertebrate, and coastal plants from a distance. NOAA regulation prohibits swimming with, approaching, or remaining within 50 yards of spinner dolphins. Keep a 50ft distance on land and in water for Hawaiian Monk Seals.
Each section offers stunning geological features; from sand dunes and fossilized reef, to a sea arch and a large sea cave known as Kaneana. This is a hot and dry area with little shade, and a sandy and rocky terrain. There is no drinking water available on either section, and no restrooms on the Mokuleʻia section. Bring plenty of water and snacks to keep you fueled for one of the most breathtaking hikes you can take on the island.
