There is seating with umbrellas which we enjoyed. It was another beautiful day in Maui. After the grandkids were finished, we went out to the large field. The adults enjoyed sitting in the grass and kiddos enjoyed rolling around in the soft grass.

11/29/2022: Snorkeling at Black Rock during high tide defeats smooth diving! The ocean swells…read morewere turbulent causing me a snorkeler getting smashed against the rocks despite, my location was twenty-feet from the rocks. The waves forcefully shoved me towards and against the rocks! I think I'll snorkel at the "Steps" where the ocean is similar to swimming in a calm, blue lagoon. Backstory: From 1993 to the early 2000's, the ocean was calm but now, due to water levels rising, Black Rock's shoreline is rapidly decreasing while the tides are egregiously rough and unpredictable. Therefore, it doesn't matter whether your a pro-diver, I highly recommend utilizing a Coast Guard approved, flotation vest for your safety, since the tides will drift you rapidly out to sea or smash you against the rocks. Be safe while swimming in the ocean: It's not a piece of cake when you get caught drifting out to sea. FYI: There are NO LIFEGUARDS at Black Rock! Finally, it's truly surprising not one Yelper has ever written a review for Black Rock~WOW! Finally, if you read my review thus far, please scrutinize studying the beach parking lot photo!

The closest parking area was a long walk away and at that point we weren't willing to park and walk down just to catch the waterfalls for a couple minutes.

Beach territory on Maui's Southwest shores…read more I honestly cannot remember any distinguishing feature about Kihei as I can about Lahaina. Kihei has more residential and commercial areas and better beaches. We stayed in Kihei at the WorldMark Resort and it was only a few minutes walk to one of the three Kamaole beaches across the street. I like that it's not very far from Wailea and Makena and a shorter distance to traveling the famous Road to Hana. I dunno, for some reason we found ourselves returning back to our resort early every day... like 7:00p or around 8:00p at the latest which is why we found ourselves returning to Lahaina often just to hang around and eat, window shop... eat (again). Nightlife seems to be more fun there. Plus the first Ululani Shave Ice is in Lahaina located in an open-air stand, set back from the street a few steps in a courtyard, at 790 Front Street. This was our first trip to Maui and now that we've done most of the touristy things if there is another chance we return to the Valley Isle I'd prefer to stay in Lahaina. Kihei is the sunniest, driest end of the island and a little rain can mean intense flooding... during our stay in Kihei it did just that! Locals we've talked to said it's not often they get heavy rains on this part of the island but the isolated downpour on 9/9/22 was too much for Kihei resulting in flooded roads and causing closures. I was super bummed about this because we were supposed to drive up to Haleakalā National Park to watch the sunset and see the full moon.

Yet the beaches are still beautiful, the weather is drier and the restaurants more affordable. Find a condo to stay at, saunter around this smaller sleepy town and rest assured that all the other sights of Maui really aren't that much further way by car.

I love this highway a lot in my time in Maui. It is called the Hana Highway. I was a tourist there…read moreand I played one of the guided tours while driving this highway. The guided tour was on point with where I was on the highway. It played melodies and instructed turns and upcoming paths. Driving this highway was pretty difficult because there were narrow turns and everything was just narrow. Any slight mishap can land you down the ocean. The breathtaking part about this highway were the trees! I love the trees so damn much that I had all windows rolling down. There were mango and eucalyptus trees everywhere. I smelled mangoes and eucalyptus the whole time. The eucalyptus trees were a good refresher and awakening call! They also purified my car and got rid of any food odors from meals I had in the car! Thankfully they acted as a perfume and air freshener! The whole car ended up smelling like eucalyptus! Luckily these eucalyptus trees were everywhere in Maui! The whole ocean was all around the highway! The ocean water skep sparkling from the sun! The highway was very flat and not much hills. There were some parts of the highway that felt like I was driving on the ocean. There were people surfing. There were some points on the highway that allow you to go into the ocean and just take a swim or dive. I did stop in the middle of the highway to snorkel. There were so many colorful fish as you go down and deeper into the ocean. Very beautiful fish. The beach was also save because I left my belongings on the branches of a nearby tree and nobody stole it even though there were people chilling on the beach.
