Keʻanae Peninsula
Keʻanae
A flat lava peninsula along the Hana Highway, where taro fields, a 19th-century stone church and crashing waves make up a classic scene of old Hawaii.
Keʻanae Peninsula lies about 16 miles along the Hana Highway. It is a flat lava plateau where local families still grow taro. The stone church on the peninsula was built in 1860 and is one of the few buildings to survive the 1946 tsunami. Waves burst over the black lava by the sea, making it a great spot for photos. The small stands at the junction, selling banana bread, are a Hana Highway specialty. The peninsula is a residential area, so please drive slowly and do not enter private property.
