The Kihei Dune Pathway in Kihei, Maui, Hawaii is an easy 0.4 mile out-and-back walk along the beach just south of Waipuilani Park. The northern trailhead can be found at the back of the Kihei VFW, while the southern trailhead can be found in the middle of Ulunui Rd in Kihei.
Stay on the trail to protect the dunes and to keep off of private property. There are various beach access trails that you can take to walk along the beach instead.
From the trail you can see the west Maui mountains, the isle of Kaho‘olawe to the south, Molokini crater to the south, and the isle of Lanai to the west.
Parking: There's no parking along the road by the southern trailhead, so parking at the VFW or Waipuilani Park (and walking down) is easiest.
Respecting the Land
Hawaiian land is considered sacred to native Hawaiians and many locals, so please stay on-trail, take nothing but photos, and leave nothing but footprints. Respect the locals - don't stay for long and have a backup hike planned in case the parking lot is full.

MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller (Founder & Admin). As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.
It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, site maintainance, and app development for iOS and Android . I simply ask that if you find MyHikes' trail guides helpful to please consider becoming a Supporter to help keep the site, iOS, and Android apps available to everyone.
Supporters unlock website and in-app perks with a one-time payment of $25 (you renew) 😎👍. Or you can simply make a Donation of your choice without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing - both quick and free 🎉
Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike!️
