And, of course, visit the so-called Ching’s pond. What to say about Ching’s pond? Bluntly – while Ching’s is nice, it isn’t spectacular – and unless you live here, you probably don’t have time for the less than spectacular – especially if you’re doing the Road to Hana in a day.

Along the way, Waterfront park with a black sand beach, picnic tables, BBQ grills & restrooms.Oceanfront park known for its dark sand & powerful waves features grassy picnic areas & broad views.Wailua Falls is a waterfall on the island of Kauai, part of the US state of Hawaii.
