THE OLD PUNA TRAIL TO SHIPMAN BEACH STARTS HERE.
Though surrounded by privately held land, the Old Puna Trail is part of the statewide public Na Ala Hele Trail and Access System. It offers glimpses of one of the most remote coasts of the big island of Hawaii, an experience that feels increasingly rare. An ancient path carved into the rain forest by some of Hawaii’s earliest inhabitants leads to Haena Beach (Shipman Beach to many locals) and has long been a favorite destination for its seclusion, sheltered water and fine white and black sand. Expect to see old Hawaiian rock walls on the way and to share the beach with turtles or seals when you get there.
This is a 75 min hike and is well worth the effort as the beach is remote and usually easy to swim at. Be prepared for your feet to get muddy on the hike. Closed-toe shoes or sandals that strap around the heel are the best choices for footwear. Bring snacks and water and leave long before dark as the trail often runs under the jungle canopy making travel at night impossible without flashlights.
