Have you longed to step foot on sandy shores and gaze out at sparkling waters? Haena Beach gives life to your dreams, what with its white sand beaches and turquoise waters, all encompassed by lush tropical jungle. These rich colours add to the vibrancy that is the beach, located in Haena, which is abundant in tropical beauty. If you pass by the beach while on the Kalalau Trail, rest assured that it’s worth stopping by and resting your weary self for a while.

The vistas from the beach are truly stunning, and beyond the water, the iconic Makana Ridge (Bali Hai) looms above the beach. Let it be said that no sunset could be as stunning as one captured here, with the ridge’s hulking greatness providing the perfect backdrop for your pictures. If you’re a huge fan of the movie South Pacific, you might find Makana Ridge familiar, for it served as the scenic background for one part of the movie. After you splash about in the calm waters, you can grab some shaved ice or a smoothie to cool yourself down, or settle down at one of the many picnic tables to feast on whatever delicious meals you have prepared. Want to sunbathe? Settle down in the shade of one of the nearby trees and relax as you soak in some sun. A visit to Haena Beach will be anything but unforgettable!
