Conch shell blowing at sunset in Kihei Maui - short video
Kihei Maui - Every day at sunset the tourists gather on the rooftop of the oceanfront Menehune Shores condo building to watch the sun sink into the sea, and experience the ceremony of blowing the conch shell!
So we played tourist the other day and went along with our Canadian visitors to see for ourselves.  We walked across South Kihei Road to the endless beach, where others were getting ready to enjoy the sunset.  Sure enough, just before the sun hits the water we could hear the conch shells "tuning up".  … (15 comments)

south kihei road: Kihei Wharf was the start of Kihei town on Maui - 11/28/16 07:10 PM
A little bit of history from Maui....
Kihei Wharf was first built in 1899 by Henry Baldwin, to service his new Kihei Sugar Plantation in the area now known as Kihei.  The raw sugar product was shipped out to California for processing, and supplies were brought in here.  People started using the wharf for fishing, and small boats would come and go.  Plantation housing was built across from the wharf to house the workers from Japan, Portugal, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines.  Pretty soon the activity attracted a Chinese merchant who opened a small general store.   Families started settling in and … (8 comments)

south kihei road: Kihei Maui Hi beaches - fun at Cove Park - YouTube 1 minute movie - 05/22/10 02:57 PM
Kihei Maui Hi beaches - fun at Cove Park 1 minute movie   
 
I'm on a roll to put together some short movies.  I like trying to keep it to the 1-minute format because nobody wants to spend a lot of time looking at a video.  This latest offering was quickly "filmed" one morning with my Flip camera, and then produced the next night.  It doesn't have to take long, but I find getting the music just right can be the challenging part.  This one comes with some pretty snappy music courtesy of the iMovie program.  
Come along and enjoy some fun at Cove Park in central Kihei, on … (7 comments)

SOUTH KIHEI ROAD - Kihei                     KIHEI GOOGLE MAP
Maui's friendly resort town on the south shore.
On Maui's south shore you'll find the resort areas of Kihei, Wailea and Makena, all rolled into one zipcode.... 96753.
Back in the early 1970's there was not much in Kihei but a few beach homes, a small shopping center (Azeka's - You might remember the famous Azeka Ribs!) with a post office and some fruit orchards.  All that changed when the planners decided to allow 6-story condo buildings for Kihei, and a major building boom ensued.
South Kihei Road was the only road then, a narrow 2 lane road that pretty … (11 comments)
