This is a rocky coast line with tidepools and coral and tropical marine areas offshore adjacent to the park. Potential for expansion along the coast offshore may be good because of the lack of development, although no federal lands adjoin the park. The town of Hana lies approximate 6 miles to the north along the coastline. Current park boundary is at mean high tide line. Park is located on the Island of Hawaii with approximately 30 miles of remote coastline.
Little development occurs to the north or south.
This is a tropical Pacific coastline with mixture of beaches, lava flows and vegetation. Tidepools, corals, and seagrass areas offshore adjacent to the park. Park boundary does not currently include resources below tide line. Great opportunity for expansion seaward to include tropical marine resources. Currently the park boundary is at the mean high tide line and does not include sub-marine resources.
