Here on Maui there are plenty of amazing parts of the island to explore. But we’re here to tell you about a special place in West Maui that attracts numerous visitors each year to indulge in some real Maui fun and relaxation on one of the island’s most beautiful beaches of all time!

At Kaanapali Beach, you’ll be left breathless by the miles of white sand and bright blue ocean water that expands out into the horizon. In front of you’ll witness sea turtles, waves, clouds, two islands of Molokai and Lanai and plenty of sunsets each night to enjoy. And while the landscape is truly picturesque, you’ll also love all the fun activities that surround you here, including the nightly jump off Kaanapali’s famous Black Rock destination (also known as Pu’u Keka’a). Ancient Hawaiians believed that lava formation that juts out into the crystal blue ocean waters was the place where their spirits went to jump off to join their beloved ancestors.

Every day you will see children and adults alike facing their fears and jumping off the famous Black Rock and into the ocean below. So if you’re an adrenaline junky and jumping high off a high sea cliff has always been on your bucket list, then you’ll love the chance to do just that at Maui’s Black Rock. Besides great cliff diving, the popular sandy beach below the lava promontory is also known for its snorkeling. Less experienced swimmers should beware that the water becomes deep quickly, and strong currents can occur in this location.
