Tunnels Beach, known as Makua in Hawai'ian, is a lovely beachfront area at Haena Beach Park, located on the northern shores of Kaua'i near the town of Kapaa. The beach, which is named for lava tube formations along its barrier reef, is best known as a filming site for the 1958 feature film South Pacific, showcasing incredible mountain backdrops and beautiful ironwood and palm trees along its crescent-shaped waterfront. Golden sands await visitors, along with prime snorkeling conditions for divers and snorkelers of all ability levels. Surfing, windsurfing, and kitesurfing are also popular visitor activities, with ample space available for beach strolling and viewing the spectacular area sunset.
