Located on the west coast of Maui in the U.S. state of Hawaii, Nānākuli is a charming community west of Kahului, whose name is derived from the Hawaiian word for "land of the blind" and is associated with the myth that the local mountains obscure the view. Known for its pristine natural beauty and laid-back atmosphere, Nanakuli Beach, a golden sandy beach surrounded by black volcanic rock, is the perfect spot for surfing, snorkeling and watching breathtaking sunsets. Surrounded by Maui's rugged west coast mountains, hiking enthusiasts can explore nearby Nanakuli Valley and experience the vibrancy of the rainforest. Unlike the bustle of Maui's east coast, Nanakuli retains a more authentic Hawaiian flavor and is a quiet place to get away from the hustle and bustle and experience the local culture. With a warm, pleasant climate and year-round outdoor activities, Nanakuli is a must-see for travelers exploring Maui's West Coast.
