Thrilling Tropical Beach in Hana

After visiting Palapala Ho‘omau Congregational Church and Charles Lindbergh’s gravesite, it was time to start the return trip along the Hana Highway. Fortunately, we had another night ini Hana, so we spent time at Hāna Bay Beach Park. This image is from the pier that juts out into the bay.

There is a nice trail that loops along the coast from Hāna Bay Beach Park to Kaihalulu Red Sand Beach. There are two nice monuments along the trail that are worth the effort required to get to them. One is for Kaʻahumanu and the other for Samual Kalalau Jr.
