Ahihi-Kinau (La Pérouse Bay)
Bodies of Water, South Shore
Fodor's Review:
Beyond Makena Beach, the road fades away into a vast territory of black-lava flows, the result of Haleakala's last eruption. Also known as La Pérouse Bay, this is where Maui received its first official visit by a European explorer -- the French admiral Jean-François de Galaup, Comte de La Pérouse, in 1786. Before it ends, the road passes through the Ahihi-Kinau Marine Preserve, an excellent place for morning snorkel adventures. This is also the start of the Hoapili Trail, or "the King's Trail," where you can hike through the remains of one of Maui's ancient villages. Bring water and a hat, as there is little shade and no public facilities.
