Slaughterhouse Beach (Mokuleʻia)

[1][2] The beach is a part of the Honolua-Mokuleʻia Bay Marine Life Conservation District.

The beach is located near Kapalua in West Maui and is surrounded by a cliff face and lava rock.

[6] Large waves break approximately two hundred feet out from the shoreline during the winter.

However, the water is deep before the sandbar can be reached, and the shape of the beach, and the sandbar seems to cause a very strong and dangerous rip tide that sweeps from right to left, and even an expert or advanced intermediate swimmer could be quickly swept onto the rocks, or out to sea.

There are no signs or warnings of any kind on the beach, so extreme caution should be exercised as this is a very serious and unseen danger.
