Hāʻena State Park is a state park located on the north shore of the Hawaiian island of Kauaʻi. It is often referred to as the "end of the road" and marks the end point of the Kuhio Highway. The park provides access to beaches, trails, and several ancient Hawaiian sites, including sea caves estimated to be more than 4,000 years old. Archaeological sites associated with the hula, including a heiau (shrine) dedicated to Laka, are located above the park's beaches.
Kēʻē Beach has a unique reef lagoon, which allows the water to be calm and attractive for snorkeling and swimming. Beyond the reef, however, very strong currents, especially in the winter, have been reported. In Hawaiian, Kēʻē literally translates to "avoidance", referring to stories in Hawaiian mythology about the goddess Pele and Lohiʻau.
The Nā Pali Coast State Park is a 6,175 acres Hawaiian state park located in the center of the rugged 16 miles along the northwest side of Kauaʻi, the oldest inhabited Hawaiian island.

No colour post processing... this was the natural light! The natural beauty of Hawaii!
A capture of the beauty of ocean waves and the infinite shapes and textures that it offers...when we take the time to watch and observe its creations.
