Waikanaloa Wet Cave

Located on Highway 560 in Ha’ena, North Kauai, this is the easiest of two wet caves to access as it is located just off the road. Sea caves are formed by thousands of years of ocean waves pounding against the lava and eventually etching out a cavern. At one time, the ocean was up to this point. Legend states that this cave was built by Pele, the volcano goddess, for her lover. But when they filled with water, she abandoned them.
