Climbing Near Kihei, Hawaii

The boulder is an ancient lava tube that has been eroded out into a cave right on the south shore of the Kamaole Beach Park. This boulder is a little intimidating because of its proximity to the ocean (waves are continuously crashing into it), but the water is manageable and the holds are solid (a mixture of polished and unpolished lava rock). Rock is right on the south side of the beach. Park in the parking lot on the side of the main road and walk through the grass down to the beach. Walk out into the surf and look to your left, and you will see the cave.

This place is very sunny. The only shade you get is underneath some trees and a cave. You might get to see some turtles if you are lucky. Not very crowded but a small area nun the less. When climbing do be cautious about rocks in the sand. Plenty of opportunities to be creative. So you can go down to the docking area but the route is where the small beach is located, all the way to the right. You will see a cave you cannot miss it.

Sheltered from the trade winds and sunny. Some spots offer shade. Rock is volcanic and loose holds are in abundance. Best time to climb is low tide. Honoapiilani Highway turnoff between mile marker 7 and 8 at the lighthouse.
