Located at Makaluapuna Point on Maui’s northwest shore, Hawaii’s Dragon’s Teeth is an “off-the-beaten track” tourist attraction that’s not to be missed. Hundreds of years ago when the West Maui volcano was still active, it poured its lava in to the sea. Lighter and finer grained than most lava, a combination of sea swells and strong winds pushed it back in to the shore in an upward motion leaving it to cool in to the unique formations that remain today.  Because of their jagged peaks, the rocks quickly earned the name Dragon’s Teeth.
