- Former salt mining spot

Kealia has a long white sandy beach stretch which is popular
for whale watching and beach strolling activities in the cold climate. The
beach is also known for water exercises like ... moresurfing, and also experiences wind
swell and ocean swell. During the calmer climate, visitors can enjoy swimming
as well as body boarding on the northern part of the beach. The beach is a half
mile long, and 150 ft wide, it is one among the largest beaches of Kauai. The
surf looks perfect during summer as the ripetide is silent. But, it is better
to be cautious.
It is known that during early times Hawaiian people used to
collect salt from the place which was formed on the sandy flat areas. At
present, the salt is gathered from dunes beside the highway. Kealia experiences
dynamic currents too; people usually come to watch this site in winters. This
place can be explored from the coastline while walking or bicycling. The place
provides facilities like showers, restrooms and lifeguards to tourists. The
water is protective, so swimmers can have a relaxing time in the water. In
addition, if you are visiting the beach with your loved one, then you should
enjoy the calm climate and tranquil water while walking with your partner,
holding hands.

- Kaukini Gallery collection
- High rising cliffs
- Kahakuloa village
Kahakuloa Head (Pu’u Koa’e) lies in the west of Maui. Despite its beauty it is not frequently visited due to the single scary road that leads to the
place. It is neighbored by the ... moresmall village of Kahakuloa. If you have the courage to take Kahekili "Highway" (340) all the way out here you will be rewarded by steep cliffs and epic views.
According to historic tales, the cliffs at Kahakuloa Head were once the favorite diving spot of King Kahekili. Please do not try to follow in his footsteps since even the approach to the cliffsides is very dangerous. The entire area is only scarcely populated and thus offers a great retreat from the more touristic hotspots of Maui for the more outdoorsy minded visitor.
