If you are staying in the Wailea resort area or at the Maui Prince Hotel in Makena, take a morning drive to La Perouse Bay to admire the scenery of South Maui. Follow the Makena Road past Oneloa Beach (also called Big Beach) and the 360-foot cinder cone.
The road will pass through the 'Ahihi-Kina'u Natural Area Reserve and black volcanic rock until you reach La Perouse Bay. Along the way, you will see small beaches just off the road and enjoy views of the Molokini island in the distance.
The Makena Road ends at La Perouse Bay. Here you can see archeological remains of an old Hawaiian village.
On the way back, stop for a swim at the beautiful Makena Beach which features a long stretch of sand, waves and some shade.
