Kapalua Coastal trail and Kaanapali beach walk, HI, 2/11/19


Wonderfully rugged, wild coastal walk from DT Fleming beach to Kapalua bay and back. We didn't pay much attention to the exclusive resorts and homes (except for the ancient Hawaiian cemetery on the grounds of the Ritz-Carlton) because we were too busy watching the fury in the waves. 



Note the two sea arches in the lower right corner. 




Later in the day (no pictures) we walked part of the three miles of uninterrupted white sands of Kaanapali beach starting from the Whaler's Village to the Black Rock, and then south past the Sheraton.  Atop Black rock at sunset, a male performer, dressed in traditional Hawaiian clothes, blows a conch shell, throws a lit torch into the water and then dives into the sea.  We did not wait for the sun to set so we missed the show. Our last day in Maui.  I very reluctantly stopped walking in the beautiful white sand with mild surf at my feet.
Total miles for the day: 8.1 miles.
