I really like spending time at this Sacred area right off the Wailua River facing eastward towards the Pacific. It's almost always breezy there and there's a variety of rocks to kick back against or scramble around as you like. The view is always magnificent and it's pretty peaceful at the Heiau. It is a sacred Hawaiian place and it must be revered and rocks should not be moved or taken from the area. It's not the best place to go out into the ocean because the river is nearby. When you go around the corner a little bit that's where the parking lot is and larger crowds assemble. There are condominiums towards the road in a large open field with a pavilion next to it that people can use for games, concerts, and assemblies. A little further down is a disc golf course which is free to play.g

Delicious dinner and wonderful staff. My daughter did not like the sauce on the meatloaf (I thought it was delicious, it is similar to chili in a good way, she just doesn't like chili) and the waiter overheard, they took her plate back and replated it with a different sauce. It was such a kind gesture and made the evening very memorable and just shows they love to make everyone happy. She loved the new sauce. The opah is also delicious and one of a kind. I don't know when we will be back in Kauai but this will definitely be a revisit!

The place is very picturesque, a beautiful beach with a wonderful view of the ocean. A very good idea is a fenced pool with emerald-colored sea water. Very convenient for families with small children. Very clean area. Quite windy. Nearby there is a huge interesting playground where you can have fun with your children.

Today was beach cleanup day at the state park. Many people cleaning all the driftwood from the beach. Nice tide pools with sea wall so the kids do not get attacked by the ocean waves. This park is nicely maintained and clean. Free parking allowed. Some camping it says also barbecue but you must bring your own stuff.

Any unique little beach camping spot. The park was nice and clean. The beach had a lot of driftwood on it so creating campfire would be easy. Quite a bit of surf to play in.

I had fun, it’s an important artifact of native life and it’s intersection with the colonial period. Please note, that is not my baby at the Birthing Rock.😜
