This Kihei sunset catches a sunburst over frothy, fast-moving water. There are numerous spots along the Maui coast by Kihei that you can capture an amazing sunset. In all my trips to Maui, I have used Kihei as my home base and it mostly does not disappoint with gorgeous sunsets. In this image I used a faster shutter speed to freeze the movement of the water and timed it with the sun behind the cloud enabling the sun burst.
Compare this Kihei sunset with the slow-shutter version, Kihei Sunset Long Exposure, or nearby Charley Young Beach Sunset.
