Nā Pali Coast State Wilderness Park
State Wilderness Park · Haena, Hawaii
Six thousand one hundred and seventy-five acres along the rugged sixteen-mile north-west side of Kauai, the second-oldest inhabited Hawaiian island, where cliffs rise as much as four thousand feet straight out of the Pacific. The park was created to protect the Kalalau Valley. There is no road: the coast is reached on foot by the Kalalau Trail, by boat, or from the air, and that inaccessibility is exactly what has kept it as it is.

Daylight hours, and access is by permit or reservation rather than by simply turning up. ⚠ THERE IS NO ROAD ALONG THIS COAST AND THERE NEVER HAS BEEN.
