The village of Honokohau is located along the rugged north shore of West Maui. This close-knit community stretches for more than a mile into the Honokohau Valley. They don't seem to like visitors back there. The look we got from a local man as we slowed at the road leading back into the valley plainly said "keep going" and we did.
To see Honokohau Village take a look at the map below, zoom in around the icon and choose "satellite." You'll get a nice aerial view of the village.
Next to the Bridge across Honokohau Stream is a parking area that gives access to the rocky beach along the bay. Honokohau Bay is considered a good spot for surfing and kayaking. We also found it a great spot to stand and watch the fury of the winter seas as they pound the shore. Be sure to heed the private property signs as you head down to the beach.
There's also an interesting old pickup at one end of the bridge. It looks like it used to be a produce stand. If anyone knows it's story we'd love to hear it.
Have you been to Honokohau Village? Do you live there? Why not tell us about it?"
