For most Maui tourists, the 210 kilometer round trip to Hana is an all-day adventure. If you are staying in Kaanapali or Lahaina, it’s about a 50-kilometer drive to reach it.
I am going to give you a breakdown of what I feel is one the best beaches in Maui. You may feel differently.
The Hana side of Maui is considered the tropical side of the Island. This is a rain forest and rain can occur daily.
Hamoa Beach is on the west side of Maui near Hana, a less-developed part of this popular island. Hamoa Beach has sea cliffs and lush vegetation; the public beach shares some facilities with the Hotel Hana Maui.
For a beach vacation that never lets up - Hamoa Beach is where you need to be. Hamoa Beach is a must visit if you plan to visit East Maui.
As you approach the beach from the main road, you’ll walk past colorful plants and palm trees surrounding Hamoa Beach.
