Maui Beaches ... that's really why we're here ... right? ...... RIGHT !!!
South Maui ... where your Beach Fantasies come true !!!
Maui is an Island Paradise in the middle of the Pacific. Maui has Beautiful Beaches everywhere ... West, North and East. I'm here to tell you the Best Beaches are on the Gold Coast - South Maui. And don't bother with North or Central Kihei ... the real Magical Beaches of South Maui start at Kam I and continue for six miles to Big Beach.
What is your Beach 'check-list' ???
- Sunning, lounging ... just veging out? Every Beach in our list works for this ... our favorites are Kam II, Malauaka and Big Beach.
- Swimming ... All the Beaches in our list are swimmable ... and the clear, warm, blue waters are a delight. If gentle, flat water is to your liking - we suggest Keawakapu, Mokapu or Ulua Beaches ... or Makena Landing. If you're Navy Seal material - Big Beach during a 'South Swell' is for you!
- Snorkeling ... the reef between Kam II and Kam III can be sandy ... but when it's clear ... it's Fabulous!!! Between Wailea and Polo Beaches ... between Po'olenalena and Chang's ... WOW !!! If snorkeling is your thing ... it's everywhere! Makena Landing ... Maluaka Beach ...
- Are you wanting to Boogie Board ??? Big Beach ... hands down. But you can have a blast BB'ing any of the Kams ... and parts of Keawakapu, Wailea, Palauea and Maluaka are fun Boogie Boarding spots. It's -35 in Montreal ... and you're Boogie Boarding Kam II
- Walking ... one of our favorite activities. You can walk single beaches (we figured from the Maui4Sun Condo to Kam II ... then four full laps of the beach ... and back to the Maui4Sun Condo is a two mile workout - just right for us!). You can walk stretches of beaches. The entire stretch from Kam I to Big Beach is walkable ... it might be sand, it might be gravel path, it might be sidewalk ... but it's very walkable. Just know your limits.
- Surfing ??? OK ... this is the one activity that will probably disappoint in South Maui. If you want gentle one to two foot rollers ... Cove Park about 1/4 mile north of Kam I will work. If you need the 'real stuff' ... you'll have to go to the North Shore ... Ho'okipa or ... Pe'ahi ... aka Jaws!
