Pohaku Park, also called Pohaku Beach Park, is a small beachfront park on Lower Honoapiilani Road in Lahaina, Maui. Go early to watch local surfers take on the larger waves, or look for sea turtles swimming close to shore. The beach is a quieter place to pause, with shade and sunset views, but there is limited room to sit and spread out. Bring your own snacks and drinks, as there are no nearby food options.
A small beach with room to pause
Pohaku Park is a roughly one-acre beachfront park beside a series of condominiums. Shade and a handful of picnic benches give you places to take a break, though the sandy area is small and has limited seating. It suits a quiet beach stop more than a visit that needs lots of space for a group or beach activities. The park is also used as a food distribution center for families affected by the Maui fire.
Facilities and getting there
Facilities include a freshwater shower and a portable toilet. Parking has space for about 20 cars, so walking in is a practical option if you are staying nearby. Bring your own food and drinks, as there are no nearby food options. The surf can be strong, and rocks are present along parts of the shore. There is no lifeguard, so take care around the water.
