Description
Fiercy waves in ocean at La Perouse Bay during Darby Hurricane, Maui , 2016.
La Perouse Bay, located on Maui's south shore in the Ahihi Kinau Natural Area Reserve, has a rocky shoreline. The bay features several small coves that lie between rocky points. These are often covered with tidal pools. Some of the coves have small sandy beaches, but most of them have coral-rubble beaches. The road that leads to La Perouse Bay is a narrow (one lane), and the last stretch to the bay is unpaved and riddled with lava rocks.
The bay is protected from strong currents, but during periods of storms and heavy surf, the water inside the coves can become very turbulent. La Perouse Bay is known for being a great snorkeling location, but not the bay itself (which has poor visibility), but the small coves along the northern end of the bay in the nature reserve.
The stark, barren lava rocks, the bright blue ocean, the coral beaches and the waves crashing against the cliffs provide the perfect scenery for some great shots.
