Kapalua Live Cam

Kapalua is a resort area located on the northwest coast of the island of Maui, Hawaii. The name "Kapalua" means "arms embracing the sea" in Hawaiian. The history of Kapalua dates back to ancient times when the area was home to Hawaiian ali'i (chiefs) who used it as a place for fishing and farming.

During the 1800s, Kapalua was primarily used as a ranching area. The land was owned by the Honolua Ranch, which was founded by James Drummond Dole, the founder of the Dole Pineapple Company. The ranch operated until the 1940s, when it was sold to the Maui Land and Pineapple Company.

In the 1960s, a group of investors led by Maui Land and Pineapple Company began developing Kapalua into a resort community. The first resort to be built was the Kapalua Bay Hotel, which opened in 1978. This was followed by the development of the Kapalua Golf Club and several other luxury resorts and condominiums.
