Sunset from Maui’s west side beach Launiupoko is always a beautiful sight.
Near the port town of Lahaina and a pleasant ocean-side drive from the north or south, this beach offers green grass, small surf, excellent whale watching, and superb views.
The channel between Maui and the islands of Lana’i and Moloka’i is narrow and can be turbulent with wind during the day. Evenings bring calm to the ocean and clouds consistently on the horizon make for great sunsets.
