Ka’anapali Beach and Black Rock
Black Rock, or Pu’u Keka’a, was once a sacred location to the ancient Hawaiians. They revered it as a place where the spirits of the dead went to leap from this world to the next. Today, the Black Rock area is known for exceptional snorkeling with shallow, clear water, colorful reefs and exotic sea creatures. From November to May, great humpback whales frolic in the waters off of Ka’anapali, making it a whale-watching destination.
