Kaanapali Beach & Black Rock

Considered the most beautiful beach in the world, Kaanapali Beach is a long gold/white sand beach that ends at a point where Black Rock sits. This beach is usually pretty calm with little to no waves.

Black Rock is a volcanic ridge with black cliffs. The snorkeling around this point can be very good, and the cliff diving is regularly enjoyed.

Be careful cliff diving in certain areas. it can be shallower than you'd expect. Diving on sharp reef can ruin your vacation. Also, when swimming and snorkeling, be aware of currents. Off the point of Black Rock, the currents can be stronger.
