OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
This laid-back
beach is a long sliver of sand off
Honoapiilani Highway. That makes for a
little road noise but means easier access
than some of Maui’s other snorkeling spots.
Idyllic sunsets cast light on surfers along
Papalaua’s west shore.
Camping by permit is plentiful at Papalaua
State Wayside Park. There’s a long stretch
of narrow sand and patches of dirt to set up
camp. Shade is provided by scattered trees,
but still allows decent sunbathing.
Although there are no picnic areas or
grills, it’s a quiet and spacious park to
swim, snorkel or kayak. Adjacent to the Pali
on Highway 30 near mile marker 11, it seems
secluded from the hustle and bustle of
developed beaches. Views of the curvy
highway ahead make excellent snap shots.
During winter, Papalaua offers plenty of
room to pull over and do some near shore
whale watching.
Surfing here is very popular on a south
swell with typical offshore winds. |
