Also known as Kakahai'a County Park and National
Wildlife Refuge, this beach park is located just a
few miles east of the main city of Kaunakakai.
The swimming here is not very good due to the shallow,
rocky bottom, but the park is very nice for picnics.
The National Wildlife Refuge is
home to two endangered species of seabirds - the Hawaiian
Stilt and the Hawaiian Coot. The beach is actually
an ancient Hawaiian fishpond used to raise fish for
the royalty. Some of the area in the beach park is
restricted for conservation purposes and permission
must be obtained before exploring the sanctuary.
Useful Information:
No lifeguards
Picnic facilities
Rocky and sandy shoreline

DIRECTIONS:
Take Highway 450 east from Kaunakakai. This beach park is
located between Mile Marker #5 and 6, two miles east of One
Ali'i Beach Park.
