    Black Rock Beach, right by the Sheraton Maui Resort, is a must-visit spot in Maui, especially if you’re looking for adventure! We parked at the Sheraton’s parking structure, which is $6 per hour—a fair price considering the prime location. After an exhilarating experience cliff jumping off the famous Black Rock (Pu’u Keka’a) into the clear, calm waters, we decided to grab lunch at the Sheraton’s poolside bar.

    The view from the poolside bar was absolutely stunning, and the food was delicious! Although there’s a 19% automatic service charge for any food or drinks, and prices are a bit higher (as expected), it was well worth it for the picturesque setting. It’s the perfect spot to relax and enjoy great food after a fun, adrenaline-filled experience on the cliffs.

    In addition to cliff jumping, the snorkeling here is fantastic—swimming with sea turtles and tropical fish just added to the magic of the day. The beach itself is beautiful, and we caught the ceremonial torch lighting and cliff diving demonstration in the evening, which gave the whole experience a special cultural touch.

    Highly recommend stopping by for some cliff jumping, snorkeling, or just to enjoy the amazing atmosphere at Black Rock Beach and the Sheraton poolside bar!

    Besides the hassle to find parking this beach is probably one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever been to and it’s so big super nice. The water is super blue super clear and the sand is super soft. Everything about it is really amazing and I definitely recommend this spot

    Parked at the parking garage connected to the Sheraton hotel. Was originally planning to validate parking but then decided against it and paid full price for the 2 hours. There are public showers available here close to the parking garage side of the beach. Used the Sheraton pool bathrooms which were unlocked for all to change clothes.

    Nothing interesting on the coral side here but a decent amount of fish that you can follow along. A little bit cloudy but still decent enough visibility. Most people jump off the cliffs but I didn't partake. There are lots of sea turtles and while they can be a bit difficult to spot since the turtles hang around the shallow side where there is more sand turbulence to stay hidden. I spotted one and kept quiet all by myself just staring from a safe distance for 30+ minutes until someone else spotted it and a crowd started forming.

    A lava cliff extended to the ocean near the Sheraton that breaks the broadwalk along the coastline. A popular place for plunging down to the water. There is also beach area. High above cliff, there is a walkway led to fishing area. The cliff provides a paranomic view of the coastline. It is a best place to watch sunset.

    OH. MY. GOSH. We had never snorkeled before, but WOW. The current is a little strong but pushes you back to the shore just as hard as it pulls you in. So many fish, so many turtles!
