Black Rock Beach at a Glance
Black Rock Beach is located on Maui’s west shore and divides
Kaanapali Beach in half. It’s named after the large
black rock that sits in the nearshore waters on the beach.
Legend has it that the souls of warriors left the earth
here by leaping from this rock to meet their ancestors.
The area around the black rock is a popular snorkel spot.
Many corals grow on and around it and there are many colorful
tropical fish. Sometimes you can even spot turtles here.
However, use caution when you swim around the rock as there
might be occasional strong currents. There are lifeguards
on the beach, but you should still be careful. There are
no public restrooms or facilities on Black Rock Beach.
