North Kīhei, Maui

 The North Kīhei study area (transects 618 – 811) extends from Kalepolepo Beach Park in the south to the midpoint of Keālia Pond and Māʻalaea Bay Beach in the north. 

As a whole, the North Kīhei area is experiencing erosion in the northern and southern portions, with accretion or stability in the central portion. The average rate in the erosive southern portion (transects 618 – 667) is -0.8 ft/yr. In the central portion, there is a stable area (transects 668 – 680), and a moderate accretionary area (transects 681 – 721) with an average rate of 0.3 ft/yr. The northern portion again experiences erosion with an average rate of -0.3 ft/yr. 

As of 1963 there is no beach toe located between transects 629 and 631. As a result, analysis of this specific location does not include any data that was collected after 1963.
