Rocky Beach at Puamana
Puamana Beach Park is located right off the Honoapiilani Highway near mile marker 19. The lack of a left turn lane when approaching the park from the south can make it difficult to turn in when the roadway is busy so you might do best to drive into Lahaina and return to Puamana approaching from the north. There’s not many parking spaces but you can park on the road and it will be jammed when there is good surf. Of course, you can also order a parking on essential travel web in advance. The park is shaded and has grass and some picnic tables to sit on and this might be your best option because the beach itself is not a comfortable option.
