USA Kahakuloa Head

Kahakuloa Head (Pu'u Koa'e) is located on the northern shoreline of Maui. This photo was taken facing north on 340 (Kahekili Hwy).

Park your car as close to the side of the road as possible and enable the warning lights. There are some blind corners so you must be alert for traffic!

This photo was taken at 18mm on a Nikon crop frame camera (so about 27mm full frame):
1/60 sec
f/5.6
ISO 100

Also, this photo was taken in late December so the landscape was particularly lush. If you look on Google maps it appears much more yellow/brown. Perhaps their car drove through during the summer months?

The road and landscape are quite beautiful which makes for great photos.

Two options...
1. Approach from the north by driving around the northwest peninsula. Take the Honoapiilani Hwy (30) until it turns into the Kahekili Hwy (340). This is a longer distance but is quicker and easier.

2. Approach from the south (like I did) by driving north on Khekili Hwy (340). You will be blessed with some of the most beautiful seascapes and tropical views imaginable. However, this part of 340 is very narrow (1 lane) and has cliffs. The driver must go very slow and pay attention at all times. Because the road is so narrow and twisty it takes a much longer time especially because you'll be stopping for photos every 5 minutes! If you're not a nervous driver and have the time to spare, take this route for the best experience.
