Wailua Overlook
Past mile marker 18, enjoy some time at the concrete arches of the beautiful Waikani Stream Bridge before heading to the parking lot of this overlook near mile marker 20. From this perch, you can see Wailua Canyon in one direction and, in the other, Wailua Village, where 94% of the residents have at least partial Hawaiian blood. As you look down, note the village's landmark 1860 church, which was allegedly constructed of coral that washed ashore during a storm. Wailua asks that you respect the privacy of its residents by not entering the village. Note, too, that although you'll want to take photos of the scenery from the overlook, doing so using a drone flown over the populated area is strongly discouraged.
