Ke Ala Hele Makālae Path Closed in Kapaʻa for Storm Debris Clearing
Storm debris has closed the Ke Ala Hele Makālae path between Kealia Beach and Paliku Beach in Kapaʻa until further notice.
The stretch of Ke Ala Hele Makālae coastal multi-use path running between Kealia Beach and Paliku Beach in Kapaʻa is closed until further notice while crews work to clear debris left by a recent storm.
The County of Kauaʻi's Department of Parks and Recreation announced the closure on March 16, citing the need to remove storm debris before the popular coastal path can safely reopen. No estimated timeline for reopening has been provided.
The affected segment connects two of the path's most-traveled access points along Kapaʻa's coastline. Ke Ala Hele Makālae, which runs along the eastern shore of Kauaʻi, draws daily use from walkers, joggers, and cyclists who rely on it for both recreation and commuting between beach parks.
According to the department, updates will be posted when that portion of the path reopens. The county has not specified which channels will carry those updates, so checking the County of Kauaʻi's official communications is the most direct way to track the reopening.
