Maui: Hana

The road to Hana is the most common touristy thing done in Maui. The 52-mile windy road is carved along the mountain with the ocean on the other side. About 200 cars per day make all the sites along the way quite crowded. After Kauai, we weren't very impressed or thrilled by the sites.



Black Sand Beach at Wainapanapa State Park



Red Sand Beach- Kaihalulu
This beach is accessible only after trespassing private land. The rust color surprises you as you go around the corner at the end of a short hike. The beach is a local hangout...without boundaries. The rocks form a nice bay, making it a calm pool to swim in.



Baby Pig's Crossing B&B had an awesome location with the Haleakala National Park as it backyard, a postcard view of the shoreline, and the Big Island beyond. The owner Arabella Ark is an artist who hand builds ceramic pottery. We enjoyed seeing her work and studio, as well as getting a ride in her Model A Ford she's had since she was 16!
