Nakalele Point, sunrise, Maui

Nakalele Point is the most northern point Maui. It is located just past mile marker 38. You can't miss the parking area since there is usually a lunch truck parked here. Scattered across the field are numerous "cairns" or rocks piled by visitors along with natural rock formations.

 

The primary attraction here is the famous Nakalele Blowhole, located about 1200 foot along a clearly defined path. If the surf is heavy, or it's high tide you'll actually see the geyser effect long before you reach the blowhole. Nakalele Point itself is marked by a light beacon which you'll pass. You'll also walk past numerous tidepools along the shore and beautiful lava rock formations.
