Maui Beaches
Some of the most amazing beaches to be found are located on the island of Maui. Some beaches, depending on the time of year are great for snorkeling but all beaches are wonderful for swimming. And you'll find a great beach nearby no matter where you stay while on Maui.

Being well protected from the waves and enjoying the absence of tall buildings to obstruct the view, Napili Bay is very well liked by visitors. The D.T.Fleming Beach, Oneloa Bay Beach and Kapaula Beach are among those at the Kapaula Resort located in west Maui.

South Maui Beaches
Being on the island of Maui you'll notice that the more south you go the beaches tend to become less crowded. Polo Beach and Wailea Beach are in Kihei. Restrooms and picnic areas can be found at some of these beaches and equipment rental can be found also. You'll see green sea turtles at the more secluded Maluaka Beach at the Maui Prince Hotel. White sand, restrooms and picnic facilities can be found just a few miles past the Maui Prince Hotel in Makena on Big Beach which is large and usually few people will be seen there. This makes Big Beach one of the best beaches on the island of Maui.

East Maui Beaches
Being sort of secluded the beaches on East Maui are quite unlike others in the state because of the lush vegetation and colorful scenery. You'll enjoy the black sand at Hana Bay Beach off the Hana Highway.

Enjoy the palm trees and colorful plants during your short walk to Hamoa Beach. If you're determined to find the perfect beach for you, and if you can manage to find the small narrow trail along the coast you can get to Red Beach. You can swim, snorkel or just enjoy the sun on this beach and you might even be the only one on the beach because it is sort of difficult to find. Red beach is great for those who really enjoy privacy, also. You'll cherish memories on this one of a kind beach.
