About Nā Pali Coast State Park

Protecting Kalalau Valley was the reason this 6,175-acre park was established, set along the rugged northwest shoreline of Kauaʻi, the second-oldest inhabited Hawaiian island. The coastal cliffs, known as nā pali, rise as much as 4,000 feet above the Pacific along this 16-mile stretch. The shoreline itself runs southwest from Keʻe Beach to Polihale State Park.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
