Honopū
1. Beach, surf site, Nā Pali, Kauaʻi. One of five beaches within Nā Pali Coast State Park and the most photographed of these beaches. The beach is actually two large pockets of calcareous sand at the base of a sea cliff. Honopū Valley is above the sea cliff, approximately 150 above sea level. The pocket beaches are separated by a wave-cut sea arch approximately 65 feet high and 200 feet wide, fronted by shallow sandbars, and backed by vegetated dunes. A waterfall on the sea cliffs falls into the backshore and runs through the arch. The surf site is a shorebreak on the sandbars. 2. Bay, southwest shore, Lānaʻi. Site of the Nānāhoa Islands.
