Pilikahakai Foundation is building a more resilient future for West Maui by promoting sustainability, perpetuating Native Hawaiian culture, and preserving Kā‘anapali Beach today and for future generations.

PILIKAHAKAI

Malama Kā‘anapali Beach

Pilikahaki is about more than preserving the Kā‘anapali shoreline—it's about safeguarding a way of life. We recognize the impacts of coast erosion driven by the impacts of man-made climate change pose an existential threat to the future of this beloved shoreline. As sea levels rise, storms and swells impact the coast, and natural shorelines erode, we risk losing not only precious coastal lands but also the cultural and recreational spaces that define West Maui.
