Kaena Point State Park can be found on the westernmost tip of land on the island of O?ahu and was established to protect a wealth of fauna and flora, including Hawaiian monk seals, nesting Wedge-tailed Shearwaters and Laysan Albatrosses, and the fragile endemic vegetation of the region.
Accessible only on foot, Ka?ena Point State Park has a beautiful white sandy beach that offers excellent swimming, snorkeling, and surfing for those brave enough to take on the large, powerful waves that Oahu is renowned for.
The park also offers excellent hiking on the Ka'ena point trail with spectacular natural scenery, plenty of wildlife, and the remains of what was once a railway from Honolulu through Kahuku that was destroyed by a tsunami in 1946.
