Maui: A Beach For Any Occasion

By Ella Hemmings


One of the main reasons why hundreds of thousands of tourists flock to Maui is the miles of picture-perfect shoreline. While the island might not be massive, the variety of beaches is astounding. The scenery changes, the water varies and even the activities suited to each beach are a little bit different. Read on and discover some ways to get the most out of Maui's many beaches.

Surfing is a Hawaiian invention and each island has its surfing hot spots. Keep in mind that some of the best surfing beaches boast some pretty big waves and they aren't for the faint of heart. If you are a big wave surfer, you'll want to hit Honolua Bay or perhaps get a tow from a jet ski and try out Peahi. If the big waves aren't what you enjoy, there are plenty of less intimidating surfing spots. Kaanapali Beach is a great spot for beginners and those who just don't enjoy the big waves.

Kayaking is a popular way to enjoy the ocean and an alternative view of Maui. Kihei is an excellent spot for kayaking and many tour companies are based here. La Perouse Bay is another option offering kayak treks suitable for beginners as well as more advanced kayakers. Other options include kayaking in Honolua Bay or perhaps on Makena Beach. Hanako'o Beach Park is a more remote spot, popular with locals, who have nicknamed the area as Canoe Beach.

There are many beaches that are ideal spots for swimmers. A few Maui beaches that are suitable for swimming include Kaheliki Beach Park, which has shallow waters that are ideal for families to enjoy. DT Flemming features beautiful shoreline and a few coves that are great for swimming. Don't forget to rent some snorkeling gear and take a look at the myriad of fish that call Maui home. You're also sure to see a few of the island's beautiful turtles, as well. Kaheliki is a great snorkeling spot, but there are plenty of other options including taking a tour boat out to Molokini crater and checking out its reef.

Of course, many travelers come to Maui for the romance. and there are plenty of beaches particularly suitable for couples. Weddings are a common occurrence in Maui. In fact, thousands of couples tie the knot in Maui each year. Some of the best beach wedding venues include Kapalua Bay, which is an excellent venue for a late afternoon wedding.
