The Punalau Lookout near Honokohau, Hawaii (Maui) is a quick roadside lookout that features views of Maui's northern coastline.
This is not a hike or a walk, but instead requires a couple of steps out of your vehicle to enjoy this nice lookout. From the lookout, visitors get an obstructed view of Punalau Beach alongside Maui's rugged cliffs.
Parking
There's a very small parking turnout at the coordinates provided, large enough to fit no more than 2 vehicles.
Pets
Dogs are allowed if leashed and cleaned up after.
Warning
Steep cliffs: Watch your step as the terrain near the lookout can be very steep.
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!️
