9 reviews for Wai'anapanapa State Park
Beautiful scenery! Gorgeous black sand beaches - make sure to wear your shoes down to the beach because it has some larger rocks and pebbles. When we got there, we walked out and looked at the amazing huge rock formations where water was crashing. We also saw some really cool water geysers coming up in between the rocky beach formations.
We then walked down to the left and onto the black sand beach. Just beautiful. We spent some time walking the beach while other family members got into the water. Don't go too far because it's quite a strong current. We mostly just played in the crashing waves.
There is a cave you can walk into. It's pretty cool. I think it was a lava tube.
Afterward we used the showers to wash off our feet and there are bathrooms. Always nice to have facilities next to a beautiful area.
Definitely a place to stop on the road to Hana!

This park is beautiful - and it is a great stop to make after an extremely long drive! Well worth a stop for pictures.
The black sand beach is gorgeous. There is also a picnic area, restrooms and a little hike where you can see cool caves.
We also saw a mongoose in the parking lot.

While it's become something of a tourist mecca, there's no denying the magic of this place. Honokalani Beach, the black beach at Waianapanapa Park is, for me, the quintessential Hawaiian beach. Composed of jet-black volcanic obsidian sand, this place is otherworldly. You can't drive the road to Hana and not stop here to see it.
There's lots of other interesting things to do in this 122 acre park. You can explore the lava tubes and legendary caves, anchialine pools, natural stone arches, sea stacks, and blowholes. You can picnic and camp (permit required) in the native hala forest, and hike the ancient "King's trail" approx. 3km to Hana town.

Breathtaking. This black sanded beach boasts of the bluest of blue waters in Hawaii (Wai'anapanapa translated means "glistening waters"). There's a small cave right by the water that offers a more intimate viewing of the ocean. This beach is complete with restrooms and picnic areas too, so you can make a stop out of it.

Another good choice to stop and view paradise from a Black Sandy Beach. Paradise scenes.
Don't forget your picnic basket and picnic blanket. I'll load some pix soon.

amazing black sand beach and MORE! they also have small caves! Its a long drive and some crazy one lane road. So make sure you watch how you drive here.
If you drive to Hana you will probably stop here to see the black sand beach. I highly recommend this stop, but if you're adventurous at all please check out more of the park than just that silly little beach.
I'll leave it up to you to explore and see what Wai'anapanapa has to offer - but there's a lot more than just that little beach!
Cabins are also available for camping and may be reserved through the parks department.
