About the Area
Getting About Campus
Located at the corner of Lono Avenue and Vevau Street, Kūlanaa’o is conveniently close to the UH Maui College campus. Just a few blocks away, the campus can be reached on foot or by bicycle and is also close to shopping, restaurants, theaters, beach and recreational facilities.
Ocean Life
Since Maui has over 150 miles of coastline, your greatest challenge on Maui will be to choose which beach to visit for the day. But, before you head to the beach, pick up and read brochures about Maui Beach Safety Tips, by the American Red Cross, and Beach and Ocean Safety Information, found at some free information stands around the island. Be respectful and cautious in the ocean around Maui. Most beaches are safe, but at times, and in certain areas, the ocean can be dangerous. Always swim where there are lifeguards and go to the beach with others.
Biking
Maui has a spectacular countryside for bicycle enthusiasts, but many of the roads are heavily trafficked and the most interesting roads are often narrow and have bad shoulders. Because of the safety considerations and difficult rides, only experienced bikers should consider bicycling long distances around the island of Maui. Bicycling around town is feasible, but be careful and use caution when riding around Kahului.
