Finding kindhearted people and making new friends is what truly makes a 165-mile walk around Maui enjoyable for Brian Sato, who completed the feat for the fourth time.
The 64-year-old Makawao man arrived at Baldwin Beach Park on Sunday morning, wrapping up a nearly two-week walk around the island. His treks benefit local nonprofits, with this year’s beneficiary his own employer, The Maui Farm, which provides transitional housing and farm-based, family-centered programs that teach essential life skills for self-sufficient living.

HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - A Makawao man is determined to walk around the entire island of Maui to help women and children in need.
âPeople will stop and ask, âDo you need a ride? Is there something wrong?â Or if theyâve heard the story itâs like, âOh youâre the one walking around the island. Why? Thatâs nuts!ââ Brian Sato said.

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.
“Puamana, and many areas in West Maui, will continue to be subject to expanding and more frequent impacts from ocean flooding and erosion during periods of high tides and high waves,” Tara Owens, coastal processes and hazards specialist with the University of Hawaii’s Sea Grant College Program, said earlier this month.
