NORTH SHORE 272 Hawaii Military Guide • Summer-Fall 2026 HIT A HIKING TRAIL With a relatively unspoiled valley and beach that are magnets for hiking, snorkeling and camping, Ahupuaa o Kahana State Park is one of Hawaii’s few publicly owned ahupua’a. Tucked within thousands of acres are two trails that vary in intensity. Kapaeleele Koa /Keaniani lookout trail is a 1.2-mile loop delivering stunning views of Kahana Bay. The tougher Nakoa trail (moderate to difficult) loops through a tropical rain forest and crosses Kahana Stream in three spots. This trail also has WWII military bunkers used in the training of soldiers. Be sure to stick to the marked trail especially since this is also a public hunting area! TASTES TO SAVOR The North Shore’s Kamehameha Highway is lined with culinary hot spots serving it all – from hearty plate lunches with “two scoop rice” to farm-to-table specialties created from locally sourced ingredients.
