La
Perouse on south Maui, Hawaii
 Excellent
For Hiking And Swimming
La Perouse Bay on Maui is located on the southwest corner
of the island, and is an incredibly beautiful location for
swimming, snorkeling and hiking in the early hours of the
day.
La
Perouse is also a popular surfing and paddle boarding spot,
but in the late afternoon is not one of the better places
on Maui to experience Hawaii's rich underwater sealife, as
the northwest swells can make the water much rougher.
Before
8 AM is the best time to visit La Perouse, especially if you
are planning on taking a short hike toward the lighthouse
on the very
southernmost part of Maui. If you want to snorkel in La Perouse
Bay, go to your right as you face the ocean.
Please,
observe the signs along the coastline designating private
property.
Directions.
Head south through the town of Kihei on either South Kihei
Road or Hwy. 31 (the upper road that bypasses the traffic
and lights on South Kihei Road). At the Shops
At Wailea intersection, continue south on Wailea Alanui
toward the large, luxurious resorts and the Big Beach parking
areas on the right-hand side of the road.
Stay
on this road through the lava fields and around several narrow
turns in the road. Keep heading south!
 As
you approach La Perouse, the roadway will narrow and you'll
encounter a rockier section of the road and a small parking
area to your left. You can park to your left, or continue
on around a curve to your right and you'll see a larger parking
area (see picture above) fronting La Perouse Bay.
It
will take you 15 - 20 minutes from the Big Beach (Makena Park)
area to reach La Perouse. But it is worth the drive! Drive
slow and take a few minutes to stop and get pictures.
Be
courteous to other drivers along the way and leave no valuables
in your car!
La
Perouse is worth the drive and offers incredible ocean views!
