Makena Landing Beach Park, Maui
Makena Landing Beach Park is located in Makena, a small town of which many people say it is Maui untamed. There are some really nice beaches in this area. Makena Landing Beach is bordered by a small beach park. It is the first beach along Makena Road when coming from the north.
The shoreline is mostly rocky with little sand. South of the landing are two small pockets of white sand, which are popular picnicking spots. The ocean bottom here slopes gently, making it a good swimming beach for children and novice swimmers.
In 1999, a storm hit this beach and the runoff caused unusually cloudy water conditions, which destroyed the coral reef. However, a popular scuba diving location is located just north of this beach, called 5 Graves (or 5 Caves).
