Just south of Wailea lies Makena State Park, composed of over 165 acres.
Perched upon the coastline sits two of the most fabulous beaches in Maui;
Makena’s Big Beach (Oneloa Beach) and Little Beach (Pu’u Olai Beach).
Big Beach is one of the most popular spots in all the Hawaiian Islands
for bodyboarding and skim boarding. This is a fantastic beach in Maui for
enjoying a day with your family and friends, sunbathing, and body surfing.

In the struggle for
civil rightsthere is no greater or higher name than that of
Martin Luther King Jr. But when students study his speeches and
death, his enduring legacy and the arguments that surround him and still
shape our diverse culture today, they think of
Atlanta
Georgiawhere he was born and worked, or
Washington DCwhere he delivered his most famous speeches, or Memphis
Tennesseewhere his life was tragically cut short by the assassins’
bullet.
But
Hawaiiplays a part in King’s legacy as well, and perhaps a surprising
one.
Shortly after the formation of the
Hawaii State Legislatureon September 17, 1959 King flew to the
islandsand delivered a speech that remains famous to this day.
The thrust of his oratory was race relations in the nation as he praised
the islands for the harmony and peace between ethnicities that could be
found there. King toured the islands widely, speaking at the forum committee
of the Student Senate of the University of
Hawaiiand preaching powerfully at
Hawaii’s Central Union United Church of Christ.
King saw
Hawaiias a haven of racial peace and prosperity, a tropical model
to be embraced in the sweaty, angry streets of the deep south where local
governments were oppressive and those who spoke out did so frequently at
the cost of their lives. His impression of the islands was so powerful
that in 1965 as King led the march from
Selmato
Montgomeryhe and those who went with him did so draped in Leis,
broadcasting their peace and their commitment to the tranquility of the
islandsin their intentions.
Hawaiiremembers them and still honors King to this day. Thousands
in the islands have off from work in honor of King’s life and mission and
each year a parade travels from
Ala MoanaBeach park to
Kapiolanipark to remember the great equalizer and his passion for
the
Peaceof
Hawaii.
