Looking to south
Far West Side of the island of Oahu.
Having survived the Hana Highway, we could feast our eyes on the rest of Maui.
As its name implies, Haleakala is the place on Maui to witness a stellar sunrise. Lahaina is celebrated for its sunset cruises and romantic seafood dinners overlooking the western seaboard and Kihei’s long stretch of white crescent beachfront provides an excellent view of the dipping globe.
What makes a great beach? Privacy, sun, sand, a nice swimming area and places to explore.
On the North Shore of Oahu, at the end of Farrington Hwy, past Mokuleia and across from the Dillingham airfield, lays an uncrowded stretch of beach. The perfect place to experience Hawaii.
Maui is known for it's fantastic windsurfing beaches, and Ho'okipa Beach is one of the best. Most of the attention is on the windsurfers, but the lookout point above the beach provides splendid views of ocean waves breaking over the rocks and crabs scuttling through the tidal pools below.
World-class surfing and windsurfing at Ho'okipa beach park. Hang out and watch the first-rate acts while lounging on the white sandy beach.
Where the land meets the sea: Kalalau Valley extends down into the Pacific waters off the coast of Kauai. Known for it's lush tropical setting for Jurassic Park and other films, Kauai's beauty is absolutely stunning.
