The McGregor Point Lighthouse near Maalaea, Hawaii (Maui) is an easy 0.2-mile out-and-back walk that features a vista point from the lighthouse.
Walk Description
This is not a hike and rather a quick out-and-back walk. Visitors will park at the small parking lot for the McGregor Point Ligthouse and walk out along a skinny path that leads downhill toward McGregor Point. Along the way sits the 20-foot tall McGregor Point Lighthouse. From just below the lighthouse, visitors will get beautiful views of the ocean waves as they crash on the rocks below. To the east visitors get views of Maui's central valley, Haleakala, Molokini Crater, and the islands of Kaho'olawe and Lanai.
Parking
Visitors will find a small parking lot at the coordinates provided. It's large enough to fit 8 cars or less. The service road that leads uphill along McGregor Point generally has more parking available. Do not overcrowd.
Pets
Dogs are allowed if leashed and must be cleaned up after.
Respecting the Land
Hawaiian land is considered sacred to native Hawaiians and many locals, so please stay on-trail, take nothing but photos, and leave nothing but footprints. Respect the locals - don't stay for long and have a backup hike planned in case the parking lot is full.
MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller (Founder & Admin). As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.
It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, site maintainance, and app development for iOS and Android . I simply ask that if you find MyHikes' trail guides helpful to please consider becoming a Supporter to help keep the site, iOS, and Android apps available to everyone.
Supporters unlock website and in-app perks with a one-time payment of $25 (you renew) 😎👍. Or you can simply make a Donation of your choice without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing - both quick and free 🎉
