About this map

The Alalākeiki Channel separates the southern coast of Maui from the open Pacific Ocean in this coastal study. The map focus is primarily maritime, detailing the shoreline transition from Keawanaku in the west toward Kāneloa in the east. This stretch of land is defined by prominent coastal markers such as Pohakueaea Point and Pohaku Manamana, illustrating the interface between the volcanic island landscape and the sea. The documentation of specific shore features like Kanaio Beach and Waiakapuhi provides a record of the coastline as it appeared in the early 21st century. While the majority of the area is dominated by the channel, these specific terrain labels offer precise points of reference for those interested in the geographic nomenclature of this part of Maui.
