Maui Beach  Makena USA

The beach is beautiful, the water is perfect but the waves are no joke. This isn’t water you are going to sit and float in. Heed the warning signs that are posted all over. Keep Small children close. My 16 year old son and nephew.Maui Beach Makena USA

It is truly a magical island.On a single island, there is a high mountain-like volcano, tropical forests, beaches, all do-able in the same day.Maui  Beach Makena USA

Makena Beach, one of my fav beaches in Maui.Most of the beaches in Maui, being a small volcanic island, is that the dropoff from the beach is quite steep. Maui  Beach Makena Beach USA

Not so in Maui, the water gets deep very close to the beach.Little Makena, a nudist beach, is just off behind me where the photo was taken.Maui  Beach Makena Beach USA

Some beaches such as those in Australia or the continental USA have a long drop off, meaning you can walk far out before the water gets deep.Maui Beach Makena Beach USA

What did the sunlight reveal?
Mt. Haleakala's landscape is very barren, it looks like the moon. Astronauts actually trained here before their first moon landing. There are also some trails leading down into the craters.
I dont actually recommend hiking down, there isnt much to see and the climb back up is really hard.
It is two steps up and one step down, due to the sand. lol.Maui  Beach Makena Beach USA
