Kuhio Highway north of Hanalei has opened after being closed for over a year due to landslides from April 2018 rains. After the rains residents of the immediate area and other permit holders (usually construction workers) could only drive on the highway during 3 set times of the day. The locals had to drive during these convoy times to get to work or school. Although inconvenient to most, many local residents relished the quietness, the lack of people and Waniha & Haena returning to a 1970s type era. The beach reefs had a break as well and they flourished.
Haena Locals
The highway is now reopened but with rules. Kauai island residents may drive north of Hanalei without restrictions but visitors must apply and obtain a permit or take the Kauai Bus.

During the convoy era it was difficult to sell homes in a era where permits were needed to enter. However with the improvements made, new rules, and pristine like environment it is now a great place to own and live.

Haena Beach Access
Because most tourists either go to Hanalei Bay or Haena Beach Park where there are lifeguards, the rest of the beaches on Kaua’s north shore are often deserted. Although there is beach access multiple places, most of them are not marked. One beach access that is marked is off of Oneone Road. That is if you have good eyes. The Haena Seaside Beach community where this access is located has multiple other beach access sites available to the homes (and public) there.
