Pa`ako Beach wave action at sunset on the south coast of Makena Maui Hawai’i
View of Kanaloa, also known as Kaho`olawe Island on the horizon in the distance.
Also known as Pa’ako Beach, Makena Secret Cove and Wedding Beach. It is a lovely secluded beach favourited for hosting small wedding ceremonies. It is most importantly a protected area favoured by the locals for relaxing and enjoy the evening with the children while swimming and net fishing in the shallow crystal clear tide pools among the lava rocks, snorkeling and deep sea fishing. Many paddle out in their canoes to drop their lines in the ocean.
~ Hawaiian Chant ~
E ala e. Ka lai i ka hikina.
Awake, the sun is in the east.
I ka moana, ka moana hou honu.
At the ocean, the deep ocean.
Pi`i ka lewa ka, lewa nu`u.
Climb to the heavens, highest heaven.
I ka hikina ae a kala. E ala e.
In the east, there is the sun, arise, awake. by Keali’i Reichel
