Kahakuloa Head
Heading up out of the valley a pull-off above the northern edge of town provides a bird's-eye view of the village and the surrounding coast. The rise on the south side of Kahakuloa Bay is Kahakuloa Head (636ft), once one of chief Kahekili's favorite cliff-diving spots.
As you climb out of the valley, the terrain is hilly, with rocky cattle pastures punctuated by tall sisal plants. At a number of pull-offs, you can stop and explore. Lush pastures beg you to traipse down the cliffs and out along the rugged coastline.

Wailua Valley State Wayside
Back on the Hana Hwy, just before the 19-mile marker, Wailua Valley State Wayside lookout comes up on the right. It provides a broad view into Ke'anae Valley, which appears to be a hundred shades of green. You can see a couple of waterfalls, and on a clear day look up at Ko'olau Gap, the break in the rim of Haleakala Crater.
If you climb up the steps to the right, you'll find a good view of Wailua Peninsula, but there's an even better view of it at the large paved pull-off 0.25 miles down the road.
