Blue Pool

The Blue Pool of Maui Hawaii is also known as Heleleikeoha Falls or Helele'ike'oha Falls. The falls have also been called Blue Angel Falls. The falls and the pool the freshwater falls into is one of the best natural swimming pools in the world. The falls face the ocean but are separated by rocks so that the waves crashing against them still remain separate from the pool. Locals and visitors trek to the falls to swim in the pool and relax without getting into the busy ocean. Parking in the area is limited and sometimes you might find locals selling their yard for parking.

From the end of the road one must walk to the rocky shore along the stream banks which leads to the inlet where there are white rocks mixed with lava rocks. These separate the inlet from the Pacific Ocean.

Once past the inlet visitors will see the pool and falls. The waterfall is 100 feet in height. The falls are on public land, but there is sometimes resistance with locals. Some welcome visitors but others do not because most access is via private property. Boating to the area is a possibility as long as you have a secondary skiff to get to shore.
