Na Pali Coast



Dusk settles on Kalalau Beach at the valley's western edge. Though now a remote retreat for hikers and the occasional hermit, the largest valley on Nā Pali Coast sustained a significant population of native Hawaiians for more than 600 years. Though they abandoned Kalalau around 1919, their terraced taro fields are still evident throughout the deep valley, evoking a simpler time and a natural beauty that now attracts visitors from around the world.
