Keanae Lookout

This is a gorgeous piece of real estate! If you are headed to Hana, I'd definitely recommend stopping here. The narrow road leads to a dead end, but there's lots of open space to park and enjoy the views. Though there are no shops, restaurants, snack stands, or even a sandy beach, it's the heavenly coastal scenery and natural beauty that you need to experience. The peninsula is dotted with a few private homes, taro patches, a church, and open fields. TIP: Respect the privacy of the residents and their peaceful surroundings. Also, the taro patches are on private land so don't just walk through them. Be sure to check out Aunty Sandy's (a banana bread stand). There is a nice photo op of the peninsula from Hana Highway above, with safe and paved parking. OVERALL: It's a great place to relax, take pics, and picnic.

This is an amazing spot with tons of lava rocks in unique shapes and sizes, perfect for taking incredible photos with the waves crashing in the background. There's a huge grassy field, clean public restrooms, and a spacious parking lot. It's a fantastic place to stop and stretch your legs on your way to Hana!

Perfect spot to stop and enjoy the waves and the beautiful blue ocean water against the black lava rock. There’s plenty of parking along the road side, make sure you drive slow through the town. Be mindful of the locals and please be quiet. Don’t make lots of noise. This is a rocky beach. There are some places to sit and enjoy a picnic or just the views.The waves are big and the ocean is strong. I wouldn’t recommend swimming here.

Ok do this! The views are stunning and it’s well worth the stop! Bring some good shoes so you can go climb around the rocks and get good pictures.

This is a most stop on the road to Hana. So different than other places on Maui. Watching the turquoise water crash against the black lava rock is breath taking. I could spend hours there.

Keanae Lookout is absolutely breathtaking! The views are nothing short of stunning — endless ocean, lush greenery, and a peaceful atmosphere that makes you want to linger a little longer. The location is perfect too, because it’s right by Sandy’s Banana Bread, which is hands down some of the best banana bread I’ve ever had. Between the scenery and the snack, this stop is a true gem on Maui and 100% the visit!

This was a beautiful place to stop and take pictures. We fell in love with the scenery, the sound of the waves, and the atmosphere.

Beautiful. Cannot say more. We stopped here for a quick pit and ended up staying and watching the waves crash.
