MAUI’S TOP BEACHES WEST MAUI / KĀ’ANAPALI / KAPALUA Fronting Kā’anapali Resort area, Kā’anapali Beach is one of Maui’s best. Consistent sunny weather conditions and playful waves make it great for all ages. A paved beach walk runs along shore from the Hyatt to the Sheraton with some of Maui’s most popular restaurants, snorkeling spots, kayak rentals and a beachfront shopping complex. KĀ’ANAPALI BEACH A fantastic swimming and snorkeling beach, it is often less crowded than its popular Kā’anapali beach neighbor. Kahekili Park offers picnic tables, bathrooms and an expansive grassy area for beach side play. KAHEKILI PARK, AIRPORT BEACH PARK Next to the Napili Kai Resort, Napili Bay is known as one of the best beaches on Maui. Great for both swimmers and snorkelers, its sandy bottom slowly slopes down to where snorkelers can explore the coral reef in shallower waters. During high surf there is an impressive undertow as the waves slap onto the steep shoreline and recede quickly back into the ocean. While lots of fun for the whole family, it can often be crowded. NAPILI BAY BEACH North past Napili on Hwy 30, about 1⁄2 mile past mile marker 32. This is one of the best snorkeling destinations in the world when the conditions are right. Located in a marine life preserve, the fish are numerous and the coral formations are spectacular. Honolua Bay is also a well known surf spot when the swell is up. If you see surfers out around the point to the right, it means snorkeling conditions aren’t at their best. Parking is challenging as there are only a few spaces in roadside turnouts available. HONOLUA BAY Fronting the Kā’anapali Resort area, Black Rock is a prominent rocky peninsula housing a stunning snorkeling location at the north end of Kā’anapali beach. The conditions are generally great and with its nice long stretch of sand it is inviting for the whole family. BLACK ROCK
