A kite surfer wave-jumping at Kanaha Beach, near Kahului, north Maui.
Beach Morning Glory (Ipomoea pes-caprae) vines, along with Beach Naupaka and 'Aki 'Aki Grass, have stabilized this long sand berm at Kanaha Beach, near Kahului, north Maui. Note that the plants overtop the crest of the now-stable and run right down to the high-tide line on the beach.

The sand berm behind the current beach sands marks the point where waves generated by the most severe storms drive sand and debris high onto the shoreline. Another older berm a few meters inland marks the location of an older beach. Kanaha Beach, North Maui.
A quiet beginning to another Maui day on Kanaha Beach. The haze hanging over the West Maui Mountains (background) is"Vog", volcanic smog blown across the channel from the Big Island, which was experiencing a lot of volcanic activity that week.
