Geocache Description:


Keawakapu Beach("Kay-ah-wa-ka-poo," meaning sacred or forbidden harbor) in Kihei.



The island on the horizon is uninhabited Kahoolawe ("Ka-hoe-oh-lah-vay," meaning carrying away by currents).


South Maui, the leeward west coast of the Haleakala volcano, is the driest and sunniest part of the island. So if it it's not sunny there it's probably not sunny anywhere else on Maui.



There's plenty of tourists so sometimes it is hard to find a spot to call your own!


Multi-million dollar houses line the shore, but they're unobtrusive and the number of people in them doesn't overwhelm the beach at all.


The sand is very fine and super soft, and slopes gently into the water, producing a superior swimming experience. In the mornings you might find a glassy smooth ocean to swim in.


Keawakapu is a delightful beach to swim the length of, since it is 1/2 mile long and there's a lava outcropping that extends into the water halfway down the beach to break up the monotony and let you know you've made it that far (of course, you can't really go ashore right there, so you need to keep going or turn around!).


This is a very very very dog-friendly beach, and many people walk their dogs there daily. Some of the people who own the houses on the shore have dogs, too. Officially, dogs must be on least at all times, but this rule seems to be rarely obeyed and even more rarely enforced, at least at this beach.


Please be considerate of the people who do live here and understand that this is a very dog friendly beach!
