Ka'anapali Beach,
Highway 340
West Maui
Black Rock is the site where ancient Hawaiians believed
that their spirits "jumped off" or left this world. Each
island has such a spot. It was believed that a spirit left
this world to join it ancestors. If there were no ancestors
to greet the spirit, it would wander the earth causing mischief.

Black Rock divides the beautiful beaches
of Ka'anapali and Kahekili. Resorts line the coast but
there are several public beach accesses available. This
area is the site of one of the last volcanic eruptions
on Maui. Snorkeling and scuba diving is especially good
in this area as Black Rock forms a great reef wall.
Locals are often seen diving into the deep waters around
the rock.
