Just past mile marker 12 on the Hana Highway you'll find Kaumahina State Wayside Park. This 7.8 acre forested rest stop offers scenic views of the northeast Maui coastline. One highlight is a spectacular view of the Ke'anae Peninsula and village, an upcoming stop. There are also several loop trails that lead uphill from the ocean giving you a chance to view the many exotic plants. To make this spot even more attractive, in the spring/summer of 2005 it underwent a major renovation project. Expect to spend 15-30 minutes here, possibly longer if you stop for a picnic lunch or to do a bit of bird watching.

Hawaiʻi Weather Forecast
Today’s Weather Brief · AI-voiced · ~45s
Read the transcript
Partly cloudy on the windward side, mostly sunny on the leeward side. Trade winds are strong and will stay that way through Wednesday, bringing passing showers to windward slopes.
Surf builds this weekend—a south swell is coming in and could reach warning levels on south-facing beaches by Saturday and Sunday. Winds ease late Thursday, and you'll see more organized showers Friday through Saturday as a system moves nearby. Small Craft Advisory is up through Wednesday evening, so water's rough if you're thinking about boats.
Stick to leeward beaches and the sunny side through Wednesday. Save your snorkeling for after the weekend swell passes.
