Hiking

Punalau Beach in Maui is a hidden gem often overlooked by tourists driving to Nakalele Blowhole. This secluded strip of white sand requires a 4WD to access, but after you make it down the road, its only a brief 2-minute walk. While the swimming is not ideal (the reef is sharp), it’s perfect for beachcombing, shell searching, or taking photos and enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
