Puamana Beach Park is closed earlier this month. The park was set to reopen Sunday, but Maui County announced Friday that it would remain closed indefinitely due to coastal erosion and exposed Hawaiian burials.

With Puamana Beach Park still closed as it faces ongoing erosion, shoreline experts say it could become the norm as rising global temperatures and sea levels continue to impact coastal beach parks and properties across Maui.
