Heʻeia State Park

The itself here earns it a 5 star already !! We didn’t get to stay long but it was gorgeous and would be a great place for a family outing or picnic. Lots of interesting animal and plant life as well.

Nice quiet park with spectacular views. Excellent spot for a picnic in the shade. Not usually busy with the entrance on a curve of the highway, many miss it or don't notice it. Lots of beautiful chickens and cats living in relative harmony here. There is also a program to teach the traditional ways of making dugout canoes in the park. It's a nice point to stop and rest when driving around the island.

This is a nice little state park with plenty of free parking. Several picnic tables with nice views can be found close to the park’s office. There was a wedding at the outdoor area, which should give the newlyweds a wonderful memory. Update: stopped by to get some nice ocean breeze and beautiful views. It’s quite tranquil here during a weekday afternoon.

A lovely tucked away gem that has one of the best views of Kaneohe Bay featuring the recently restored ancient Hawaiian fish pond. The park features lush flora and fauna along with well cared for grounds fit for intimate weddings. I am truly impressed with the work folks have put into the park as it is even more beautiful from the last time I visited 5 years ago!

Beautiful views of the bay. Quiet family park that is well maintained.

Another great stop hit every spot everywhere you see if you miss it stop and turn around and check it out all the park beaches you get to awesome

One of the things we wanted to do was make sure we visited some of the beautiful national parks while here on vacation all the pictures are breath taken beautiful views. Bathrooms and the grounds were very clean. People were fishing from this area and said the bone fish was popular over there as well. We will be back. 😊

He'eia State Park is a hidden gem for anyone seeking a peaceful spot to enjoy a quiet lunch surrounded by nature. The serene setting offers beautiful views of the water and lush greenery, creating a perfect backdrop for a relaxing meal. While there are only a few tables available, the tranquil atmosphere makes it a lovely place to unwind. It’s worth noting that there are no nearby cafes; the closest options are a Safeway and a Starbucks a few miles away, so be sure to bring your own food if you plan to picnic. Overall, I highly recommend He'eia State Park for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle and enjoy a quiet meal in a beautiful setting.
