Great snorkeling in the morning (especially), sunsets, whale watching, a hike along the old coastal railroad North or just a quick dip in the clear waters. This is an old harbor that cattle and sugar cane was once launched from. A very local hangout, so please respect the locals that frequent here daily.

Ocean access beach park. Great sunset, whale-watching bbq-ing spot close to town. Bring your snorkel if you feel adventurous...but don't drift too far, as this is not a lifeguard area and can be quite dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. Otherwise, just come enjoy the views of Maui and the whales!
