Black Rock Kaanapali Beach Cam

Pu'u Keka'a and the Black Rock Headland

The camera frames Pu'u Keka'a, the rugged volcanic outcrop Hawaiians revere as a sacred point where spirits leap into the afterlife. Its jagged lava cliffs anchor the northern end of Kaanapali Beach and shelter a calm, reef-fringed cove below.

A Living Reef and Marine Playground

The protected waters around the headland host one of West Maui's most accessible snorkeling reefs, alive with reef fish and the occasional green sea turtle. Kayakers, paddleboarders, and swimmers share the gentle shallows that stretch toward the open Pacific.

The Kaanapali Resort Coast

Backed by the Sheraton Maui Resort & Spa, this stretch of shoreline forms the heart of the historic Kaanapali resort district, Hawaii's first master-planned destination. The sweeping golden sand and swaying palms epitomize the aloha spirit of West Maui.

Watching the Pacific Horizon

Beyond the cove, the camera looks out across the open Pacific toward the neighboring islands of Lanai and Molokai, whose silhouettes rise from the channel. The ever-changing ocean surface offers a tranquil window onto island life.
