Strong prevailing winds and storm surges generate the pounding waves that continually break on the bare rock of old lava flows that form the shoreline of the Keanae Peninsula, east Maui. The wave action also creates narrow black-sand beaches consisting of sharp, coarse grains of black basalt thoroughly mixed with large coral fragments washed in from the numerous patch reefs offshore.
