Directly across from the Olowalu General Store is the driveway to Olowalu Beach and landing, at mile marker 15. Private residences are ahead, but turn left down the dirt road and you’ll find a secluded dirt parking lot. Olowalu is best know for its reef, which is fun for snorkeling and diving. Kayaking is also popular when the water is flat.
Other than a grassy lawn, there’s no other place to relax near the landing.
Drive further south along Highway 30 and you may find sandy patches to lounge.
Camp Olowalu is a private campground known for its cabins and tents with ocean views.
During winter you’ll find snorkel boats cruising along the outer reefs.
Olowalu was home to the West Maui Sugar Company in the old plantation days and later became the Olowalu Sugar Company.
As you head toward Lahaina town you can stop for fresh island fruit smoothies and sugar cane juice on the side of Highway 30.
