Kaena Point State Park is the last beach along Farrington Road which ends at Kaena Point. This West Coast beach has a beautiful vantage point of the coast and the most northwestern point of O'ahu. This beach is rarely used during the week or at all by locals because of its remote location.

This cave is located at the base of a 200-foot outcropping of rock along Farrington Highway. The cave goes back approximately 100 yards and ends. Legend has it that the cave was the home of Nanue, the shark man.
This site is not marked by any signs and has not been maintained - a concrete road barrier in front of the cave is the only landmark. The cave can best be seen when going South on Farrington Highway from Kaena Point. Park across the street from the cave entrance.

The swimming is good here during the calmer summer months. However, the coral reef drops off suddenly, so take caution. A lot of surfers also hang out here. The beach's name is derived from a certain type of pebble (ili'ili) which can be found there. In ancient Hawaii these stones were used for a variety of purposes from game pieces, to fish sinkers and musical instruments. Due to the surf, the sand often disappears during the winter months.
