Hanapepe Town Truck Parking Lot 3887 Hanapepe Rd, Hanapepe, HI 96716, Hawaii, USA
Hanapepe Town Parking: Free Spot for Food, Art & the Swinging Bridge
Overview & Location
This is a small, informal surface-level car park located in the heart of historic Hanapepe Town on Kauai. Situated at 3887 Hanapepe Rd, it primarily serves as a convenient parking area for patrons of a well-established local food truck, which our records show has been operating in the town for over a decade as of mid-2025. Its central position makes it a practical, albeit limited, option for visitors exploring the main street. For precise satellite navigation, travellers can use the coordinates 21.911679, -159.5862675.
Pricing & How to Pay
Our research indicates that parking here is offered on a complimentary basis, primarily for customers of the adjacent food truck and nearby businesses. There are no payment machines, ticketing systems, or entry barriers. While there are no formally posted time limits, parking is implicitly understood to be for short-term use by those patronising the local establishments.
Features & Accessibility

– There are no marked parking bays, and drivers are expected to park considerately.
– Capacity is very limited, likely accommodating fewer than a dozen standard-sized vehicles.
– Due to the uneven, unpaved ground, this car park presents challenges for wheelchair users and those with mobility issues.
– There are no designated disabled parking spaces available within the lot.
– The area is not covered by CCTV and has no on-site security personnel.
What’s Nearby
Positioned directly on the main thoroughfare, this car park offers immediate access to the attractions of Hanapepe Town. Visitors will find themselves steps away from:
– The popular food truck with which the car park is associated.
– A collection of independent art galleries and studios that line Hanapepe Road.
– An array of unique boutiques, gift shops, and local businesses.
– The famous Hanapepe Swinging Bridge, a key historic landmark, is a very short walk away.
– Several other cafes, bakeries, and eateries located along the main street.
Expert Tips & Things to Know
– Demand for parking in this area is extremely high during the weekly Hanapepe Art Night, which takes place every Friday evening. We recommend arriving exceptionally early or seeking alternative street parking on the outskirts of town if attending this event.
– The car park’s informal layout and limited space make it best suited for compact and medium-sized cars. Drivers of larger vehicles or campervans may find manoeuvring difficult.
– Following periods of significant rainfall, the unpaved surface can become muddy and uneven. Appropriate caution should be exercised.
– To ensure spaces remain available for customers, it is considered poor etiquette to use this car park for extended periods or for activities not related to the immediate local businesses.
