Rules
We want our visitors to respect our land and cultural sites when
they visit. Viewing the area is fine but visitors should minimize
their impact during their stay.
Nai'a (Dolphins)
Ho'okena Beach Park has been the home for many native Hawaiian
families for generations even before it became a county park. The
nai'a have been coming to this bay for generations to rest and were
always left alone out of respect for their right to be there. The
nai'a that come to this bay go out into deeper waters to hunt for
food at night and come to this bay to rest during the day. Please
help us protect their resting habitat by observing them from shore
or at least 50 yards away and reporting any violations of the Marine
Mammal Protection Act to NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration) and DLNR (Department of Land and Natural Resources.
