Maui's leeward beaches from Kaanapali to Makena offer crystal-clear water that still holds the highest rate of tiger shark encounters in the islands, because the same reef passes and channels that draw turtles and seals draw the sharks that hunt them. SharkWatch monitors confirmed shark sightings and incidents across Maui County and alerts you the instant a verified event is reported at or near your saved beach.
