The
amazing beaches of Maui have been categorized
according to the towns which are nearby. We hope
this makes it easier to plan where to go according
to where you are staying. Many of the beaches
are worth special trips, so make sure to visit
each section and start planning!
Kapalua
Beaches: The northern most
beaches on Maui which are found in the resort
areas of Honokowai, Kahana, Napili, and Kapalua.
These beaches include a wide variety of experiences,
from the white sand resort beaches of Napili and
Kapalua, to the isolated but popular Slaughterhouse
Beach, as well as the rocky coastline of Honolua
which offers some of the best snorkeling on the
island. This area is a little more subject to
inclimate weather than the southern beaches, but
beautiful days still are still plentiful!
Lahaina
Beaches: These beaches extend
north and south from one of the most popular cities
on Maui. Here you will find Kaanapali Beach, a
mile-long stretch of white sand which makes our
"Best Of" list for the island. In truth,
the other beaches in the area are not the best
that Maui has to offer, but each one has something
going for it which may suit your needs for the
day, including great spots to learn to surf and
snorkel.
South
Maui Beaches: The southern
beaches of Maui offer the white sand and calm
blue waters that everyone envisions when they
think of Hawaiian beaches. If relaxation is what
you are looking for, somewhere to lay down your
beach towel for a lazy day in the sun, then these
are the beaches for you! Oneloa "Big"
Beach makes our list of favorites, with a water
color that is absolutely mesmerizing, but it is
the most likely to have some cloud cover. It is
rare that you won't find sun on this part of the
island, however, so come enjoy a lazy island day
at the beach!
Paia
Beaches: There are not too
many beaches on this side of Maui, but Baldwin
offers a little something for everyone if it is
not too windy. That wind, however, is the attraction
at Hookipa, one of the best windsurfing spots
in the world. Even if you don't enjoy the sport
yourself, it is worth a trip to this beach to
watch the world's best perform their aerial feats!
Hana
Beaches: Hana is the rainforest
side of Maui, and as such the weather here is
very unpredictable. However, everything is so
lush and tropical that the islands true beauty
is in full bloom all around. The beaches benefit
from this tropical splendor, with some of the
most picturesque spots on Maui. Its a long drive
from everywhere else on the island, but the trip
is worth doing for a number of reasons, as you
will discover along the way.
