KAHANA BAY – Maui County shoreline planners are “elated” after discovering more than 300,000 cubic yards of “beach-quality sand” off Kahana Bay, which could replenish the beachfronts of numerous condominiums that have been slowly disappearing into the ocean.

Kanaha Beach Park
Kanaha Beach Park
Kanaha Beach Park is a long stretch of publicly owned wild coast on the North Shore of Maui (Hawaii). It is comprised of white sand beaches, coastal dunes, wetlands, and a developed beach park. Kanaha Beach provides recreation for many folks on Maui, including windsurfers, surfers, kiteboarders, pole fishermen, divers, canoe paddlers, campers, joggers, bikers, general beach goers, and many others. Kanaha Beach also supports some of the last remaining strongholds of native coastal plants and animals left on sand dunes and in wetlands along the north shore of Maui.
