History
Lahaina and West Maui shores have layers of history from native Hawaiian fishing communities to 19th-century whaling ports, and many coastal names reflect that legacy.
Conservation
Commercial beach photography requires a state permit; stay on designated access paths, avoid trampling dune vegetation and pack out all props and waste to protect fragile coastal habitats.
