About this spot
This listing is misnamed: 'Wai'anapanapa Park' is actually a different, famous black-sand-beach park near Hana, roughly 50 miles away, and is not this jump site. Both the pin and the description point instead to Puʻu Kekaʻa, known as Black Rock, the lava point at the north end of Kaʻanapali Beach fronting the Sheraton Maui. Jump heights vary with tide, roughly in the 10-30 foot range, off ledges reached by walking north along the shoreline past the main jumping area. Water is generally deep off most faces, but currents around the point are strong and this stretch has a history of drownings; there are no lifeguards. Watch for sea turtles.
Safety first. Cliff jumping is inherently dangerous and can cause serious injury or death. Conditions — water depth, submerged hazards, and access — change constantly. CliffScout is community-sourced reference information, not a guarantee a spot is safe. Always assess the conditions yourself before jumping, and never jump where you're unsure. You assume all risk.
