Kihei

Kihei has served as a coastal fishing settlement on Maui’s leeward shore since pre-contact Hawaiian times. The town extends along South Maui between the lower slopes of Haleakalā and the Pacific, with Māʻalaea Bay at its northern end. Keālia Pond National Wildlife Refuge, a coastal wetland just north of town, underscores the shoreline’s importance for Hawaiian waterbirds, while beaches and reef shallows shape daily life along the coast. Kihei’s dry, sunny climate contrasts markedly with Maui’s wetter windward side. Trace Kihei’s setting on South Maui by browsing webcams nearby.
