Visitors can often spot a breeching whale off the Kaanapali shore and every sunset sees an unforgettable Hawaiian commemoration which takes place at Black Rock. Every evening, a cliff diver lights a trail of torches along the rock before ceremoniously diving into the dark waters to symbolize an act by Hawaiian ruler King Kahekili. The area is home to the island’s first planned resort, and with five hotels and several condominium villages facing the beach, Kaanapali is a hub of activity for both locals and tourists alike.
