Kāneana — Mākua Cave

Mākaha, HI

The large sea cave near Mākua is tied to Native Hawaiian traditions involving the shark-man Nanaue and appears in state interpretation of the Kaʻena coast. OddWay should treat it as a culturally significant roadside cave stop, not an invitation to explore deep or unstable passages.

Filed under folklore: stories a place tells about itself, passed down and still repeated.
