Makena mean in Hawaiin as "many gathered" The reefs here are teeming with many species of sea life. This area of Mauie has an wild and islolated feel, small sandy beaches and crystal clear water. Many scuba divers and paddlers arrive early mornings. Turltles are known to haul out here on the beach for a well needed rest. Enjoy this tiny slice of heaven as you search out the cache. Aloha and good luck.
