Hāna
- Beach park, Hāna, Maui. A 700-foot-long calcareous sand beach fronts the park between the wharf and the pilings of the former Hāna Landing.
- Ramp and Wharf, Hāna, Maui. The 300-foot-long wharf was no longer used for inter-island shipping once Hāna was connected to Kahului Harbor by road. The Hāna Highway, a 52-mile paved road, opened as a dirt road in 1927. Facilities for boaters include ten moorings, a ramp, a pier, and a vessel washdown area.
- Literally, work or profession. The goddess Luʻukia was said to have taught tapa beating to the women of Hāna in a cave called Hāna o Luʻukia, or the "work of Luʻukia."
