  • Great beach to view Hugh turtles that come to the beach each evening… we saw at least 15 that came in. Was able to take some great pictures but you do have to keep your distance..

  • Good place to watch sunrise!! Reach there early. Very cool secluded corner with palm trees and secret entry! Parking is limited, people just park nearby. Secret entry to the beach, between the walls there is a space to walk in. Definitely you will find families taking pictures during sunrise.
  • Pay Attention! This beach was mostly swept away during the last historic south swell. It’s currently a lagoon and could take years for the sand to return completely. Don’t plan weddings at this spot until you’re sure it’s a beach again.
  • Street parking, small beach but picturesque. Good to put your feet in but not great for swimming.
  • Very small. Quiet and looks like wedding pics are taken here. We left after a few minutes because we couldn’t get in to snorkel. Waves too big and hard.
  • This is a must-see if you are in Maui. My wife and I stopped here twice during our visit and renewed our vows here. It's a beautiful place with the black rock and the sand and the blue, clear water and the mountains in the background.
