Keawanaku Beach

Hike the Beaches of Maui

Embark on an enchanting journey starting at the terminus of Keoneo'io, or La Perouse Bay, and traverse the Hoapili Trail, a coastal pathway crafted by Hoapili, Maui's Governor, in 1824. Delve into the trail's historical richness on the dedicated Hoapili Trail page for a captivating trek through time.

Nestled within this intriguing trail is the hidden gem of Keawanaku Beach, a secluded haven adorned with gray-black sands amidst the stark, shadeless surroundings. This tranquil oasis amidst the barren, hot, and windy landscape, encircled by remnants of the island's past eruption, offers a moment of serene beauty that feels like a triumphant discovery.

While the beach's allure is undeniable, be cautious of the robust surf and formidable currents, making swimming precarious on all but the calmest days. Yet, for the intrepid adventurer, navigating the challenging terrain to reach Keawanaku Beach is an expedition that promises unique rewards and an immersive experience in Maui's untamed beauty.
