Makena State Park Tours and Activities

Big Beach Maui
"Big Beach."
Beautiful sunset on Makena beach,Maui
Just a perfect moment
Makena State Beach Park received its moniker of Big Beach for good cause: Spreading across 3,000 feet of white sand, it goes down as one of the largest continuous beaches in the Hawaiian Islands—a feature that renders photographs stunning in scope (and that’s not even accounting for the red cinder dome, Pu’u O’lai, that comprises its northern edge, its impossibly-blue waters, or its unsullied views of the outlying islands). Some of the best shots are found in pairing its ragged-but-beautiful kiawe trees with slices of the water, which reaches impressive heights—and creates one of the gnarliest shore breaks around—during summer. Equally advisable? Hiking to the overlook provided by Pu’u O’lai, which allows for a sweeping shot of Big Beach on one side, and a few steps further, pics of the turquoise sea offered by its counterpart, Little Beach.
