Black Rock

Great snorkeling for all ages. Calm and protected shallow entry alongside rocks with deep water access right off of the point. Great swimming area for kids. Read more

2nd time snorkeling here (once in 2007, and now Sept. 2014). Both times saw quite a few fish and turtles . Today we saw two turtles and a stingray ! Paid parking at garage , bathrooms at Sheraton pool.

BEWARE: If you are cliff diving beware of BLOOD on the rocks. A lot of people cut their feet on the sharp rocks climbing up to the jump points. Water shoes recommended.

Worth a snorkel if you’re in the area, but not so good it’s worth trek all the way in through the resorts when you could go up to slaughterhouse beach .

It’s a slow beach break, so it stays shallow a ways out; but it means that the waves break with some intensity by the time they get to shore. Watch your littles closely on the beach .

It’s simply beautiful and they dive here throwing themselves from the rock. The snorkeling here is to another level.

You'll see a ton of sea creatures (fish , sea urchin , turtles !!!) the closer you are to the rocks/reefs. Great place to snorkel !

At sunset an awesome Hawaiian dude parcores across the rocks and lights 5 tiki torches with a cinematic soundtrack. Cool if you're a kid or big kid

It can get crowded here in peak tourist season. Watch for cliff divers (1 almost landed on my head once!) We suggest a boat trip to escape crowds. Aikane X5 only takes 12 passengers max. Read more

Come early to do some good snorkeling , beach fills up and the people jumping off the rock become too numerous to enjoy it

Great place to snorkel in the day time. Perfect for watching the sunset too!

My favorite beach in kaanapali . Beautiful beach and less crowded

Not much coral or fish ☹️. Beach was great. For snorkel go down one beach north to kahiliki/airport beach which is great.

If you see the turtles you should know they're endangered species it's illegal to get too close or even touch them. The hotels will scold you and you can be fined.

Great place for sunsets but much better in the summer than winter.

Another great place to snorkel . It is also a great place to watch the sunset !

2 giant turtles live about 50 ft out from the shore in Black Rock. Snorkel to see them. They come out pretty often.

Definitely get your snorkeling gear in town we went to boss frogs, was 30 good the whole vacation.saw the giant turtle almost touched me.

Green sea turtles , fish and cliffs. A great spot to spend a day while on Maui!!

If you feel strong, best fish viewing is in deeper water (30 ft) around the point. Watch the currents, enjoy but please don't touch the Honu. Mahalo.

Snorkeling is awesome and better than in Ulea. Just go beyond the rock on the left to avoid the crowd.

Bri and Brit holding hands on the 1st jump together. After this they had enough courage to go back up and jump solo.

Awesome place for scubadiving and snorkling ???????? just rent snorkling gear for 20 dollars for 24 hours ????

Jump from the rocks or snorkel in this area to see turtles . Be sure to come around sunset to see the torch lighting ceremony.

Great snorkeling along the south end rock wall. I always see turtles here.

If you are staying at the Sheraton, this is a great, convenient spot to snorkel right by the resort .

There are always sea turtles in this spot. And, the snorkeling is super easy.

The upper-west of Maui is great for taking photos during sunset . It's worth booking a photo shoot. Read more

Watch the cliff diving every night at sunset .

Tends to get crowded . If you’re going to snorkel go early.

Good place to snorkel ! We see turtles quite often! And lots of other fish .

Scuba master Steve is amazing!! Very personable, know his stuff! A gem!

I love hearing the whales singing in the water when snorkeling ! Best during whale watching season...

Rent some snorkeling gear ... You will see so many fish . The turtles also feed here. Watch out for the shark too.

Wear a pair of water shoes if you're going to climb up (and jump off of) the rock!

Snorkel out beyond the point, you'll see turtles and manta rays!

Not much in the way of seat turtles this week. But still magnificent to snorkel .

Lots of dead reef, tourism has nuked the coral. Saw a big ol turtle though.

Jumping off

Snorkeling , cliff diving/jumping, sandy beach

No hot lava here!

Go swim with the sea turtles !

The rock itself smells of garbage and stale water, so the quicker you jump off, the better!

Amazingsnorkeling spot!! Tons of fishand sea turtles !

Marine life

Had a sea turtle bump into me while swimming . Very cool

Watch for the cliff divers .

We saw lots of fish , dolphin and a turtle !

Really rough waves.

Virgin drinks are great
