Overcast sky, the perfect condition for exploring the boardwalk at Kealia Pond in the afternoon. The pond or marsh lies between Maui’s West Mountains and Haleakala. The boardwalk opened to the public in 2009.

What you can expect to see:
Island of Kaho’olawe on the horizon
Molokini left center horizon. Kaho’0lawe right center horizon.
Mountain side view from boardwalk. Notice the three white stacks from the power plant.
The marsh is teeming with schools of small fish. Outstanding bird watching. Soon whale watching will be in season from the boardwalk as well. The harbor is a play space for humpback whales.
Notice the faint image of wind mills on the ridge.
There are three exits to Sugar Beach along the way. The boardwalk is an asset which both educates the public and protects the ecosystem.

I love how there are so many public access areas at the beach.
