Pa'ako Beach Makena Cove Maui Hawaii

Beautiful Pa’ako Beach, Makena Cove near Alanui Road Makena Maui Hawai’i.

This is a part of the last pristine and very beautiful undeveloped coastline on Maui. Please help us preserve and protect Makena. The magnificent Humpback Whales frequent this area during winter months on their annual migration from Alaska to Hawaiian waters for calving and breeding and come quite close to shore during season. The beautiful and sacred Honu, sea turtles may be seen feeding in the early morning light. The beautiful and secluded Po’olenalena Beach is nearby as well.

There are many names to describe this beautiful secluded beach east of Makena on Alanui Road bordered by lava rocks and palm trees. You may notice Oneloa, also well known as Big Beach, in the distance. The hill is called Pu’u Olai, a red cinder cone 360 feet high.

The wave action is extraordinary and the golden sand is deep and luxurious. There is a large tide pool on the right of the beach which is wonderful for swimming. A favourite among the locals for fishing and enjoyed by many families with children, scuba divers and snorkelers, there are wonderful views of Molokini and Kaho`olawe Island. This is one of the most popular beaches on Maui for small weddings. ~ Aloha e Malama pono, Sharon Mau
