Sunrises were always magical in Maui.
We spent the majority of the day at Black Rock beach. Unlike the other beaches on Maui which were essentially little bays or alcoves, this beach was a long, deep and open expanse of sand and water. The last few days we were in Maui, there was a high surf warning so we were trying to find beaches that didn't have dangerous waves. The waves here were big and the backwash was crazy but the kids were still able to play. There also was a tall volcanic, black rock in the water that made for some good snorkeling, where we swam with turtles and more cool fish. We finally had to leave as the tide ended up covering the entire beach despite us continuing to move further back.
We met up with the Spilman's at the Nakalele Blow Hole.
The north coast was beautiful.
Patrick and I walked the Kapalua Trail along the rugged coastline. The waves were impressive.
The next morning we ate scrumptious macadamia nut pancakes with coconut syrup at the Gazebo.
The Spilman's knew all the good spots!
Then we headed down to the beach near our house.
We spent the afternoon back at Kapalua Beach.
The last day the surf was too high up north so we traveled down south and spent the day at our favorite beaches, including Ulua Beach. There was excellent snorkeling where we saw more turtles, octopus, eels, and even a sting ray! And we finished the day and the trip with shaved ice one last time.
The full moon lit up the sky and water on our last night in Maui.
