Visiting Hamakualoa

There is only one current public access point that does not cross private property, and that is at Hahana Rd. There is some parking available at Hana Hwy, and there is a private lot that charges $10 to park just off the highway. Do not leave valuables in your car.

You can easily walk to Jaws.

• The road is close to 3 miles round-trip.
• In the winter, when Jaws breaks, it is often muddy and slippery with puddles
• Jaws really only goes off December to March. In the summer it is flat but still beautiful
• There are many branch roads but the main road is obvious as it is the widest. Stay on the main road.
• The overlook is on private property and has nothing to do with Malama Hamakua Maui or the County of Maui. 
• The overlook is at the edge of cliff so be careful!
• Cell phone access is spotty
• Travel at your own risk. 

We do not recommend that you drive to the Jaws overlook as it is a dangerous road. Please see the following page for more details and current conditions. Look for a sign with a QR code near the entrance to access latest conditions.
