Makalua-puna Point, Kapalua - West Maui
Makalua-puna Point was created from one of the last lava flows on Maui. However, the lava here is a little different from the rest of the lava on Maui - it is much lighter, denser, and fine-grained. The wind sweeping over the point caused the lava to harden in an upward fashion. The jagged points of this formation look like dragon's teeth, thus the name.
Hundreds of years of salt spray has whitened the lava and even eroded holes through some areas.
Directions:
Turn left on Office Road just past Mile Marker #30 off of Highway 30. Parking is located on the right where the Office Road meets Lower Honoapiilani Road. Hike along the edge of the gold course to this site.
Useful Information:
Free, paved parking is located off Office Road
The hike to the point is approximately 5 minutes along the edge of the golf course
Honokahua Preservation Site is halfway to the point on the right side of the path
Wear sturdy shoes when walking on the lava as the area is rocky and uneven
No facilities or water available
Strong winds are possible
Good views of Oneloa Bay from the left side of the point
