Keanae
Keʻanae, Hawaii
Unincorporated community in the state of Hawaii, United States
Keʻanae is an unincorporated community in Maui County on the island of Maui in the U.S. state of Hawaii. Keʻanae is a peninsula best known for being one of Hawaii's major taro farm growing regions. Keʻanae shares the zip code of 96708 with Haʻikū. The peninsula was originally made from lava that originated from Haleakalā Crater.[1] The area currently attracts photographers and fishermen from all around the world. Although Keʻanae is known for its scenic peninsula, it is dangerous to swim along the shore due to its sharp lava rocks.[2]
Near Keʻanae is an old, stone church. Built in 1856, it is one of a few buildings left after the 1946 tsunami, which killed twenty-four people.[3]
