Maui has many beautiful beaches. Most beaches at Maui are located at southwest side of the island, and they are divided into south beaches, west beaches (the mid section of the southwest shore), and north beaches. It has to be Sunny to enjoy them! That's why we adjusted our plan for beach days.
Kaanapali Beach
The west beaches are most popular as they are close to Lahaina downtown, where hotels, rental condominiums are concentrated. It has 3 mile long white sand beach, crystal clear water, big surf, a good spot for snorkeling, and the cliff diving from Black Rock. No professional divers on this, many tourists climbed the rock and jumped off.
Kapalua Bay Beach
A small beautiful beach! Kapalua means arms embracing sea. This name perfectly describes the feature of the bay, rock shores extend into the sea just the right amount, shield the bay from waves.
It is the trail head of north coastline trail. We arrived at the beach early, 8am, set up out tent, and hiked on the north coastline trail, then had great time snorkeling. We left the beach after the beach became crowded around noon time.
MaKenna Beach
One kilometer long white sand beach, facing Lanai island, Kaho'olawe, Molokai. A good place for swimming. North to the MaKenna is a small beach, scenic Oneuli beach, which had black sands.
