This is a beautiful little boardwalk located in the pond of brackish water right off of Sugar Beach. In fact, bring the beach gear and layout on the beach right here. The boardwalk is a wonderful spot to learn about the native birds and wildlife and then catch some rays or take a swim at the beach. If you are a birder than this is a must. Hawaii has some amazing native birds and some of the best specimens can be spotted here.

North Kihei Road, Route 31 - Check before going. This has been closed for repairs. It has a nice "boardwalk" that parallels the ocean and inland ponds. It is a great place to see seabirds. Did you know the Hawaiian archipelago is home to the largest tropical seabird community in the world! On Maui, seabirds breed in habitats ranging from coastal dunes to the summit of Haleakala. Some Maui seabirds are 'a'o (Newell shearwater), 'a (Red footed booby-look for their brightly colored red feet), 'ua'u (Hawaiian petrel) and 'au'u mani (wedge-tailed shearwater). During the fledgling season, young birds leave their burrows for the first time in search of their ocean feeding grounds.
