Kapalua Beach - Maui

Kapalua Beach is especially well suited for families with small children. It is situated on a sheltered stretch of a crescent shaped bay that protects it from any rough surf. Kapalua beach is a lovely stretch of sand that is one of the safest to swim at. Thus, it is a popular choice among families. Situated amongst the signature grove of 12 acres of century old coconut trees and nestled directly on world-famous acclaimed Kapalua Beach is one of Maui's premiere beach front luxury communities. We invite you to come vacation at Kapalua's Coconut Grove, a truly luxurious gated beach front accommodation with direct sandy swimming beach access at the most treasured location in Kapalua Resort.

Kapalua beach is about 15 minutes north of Ka'anapali beach. There is only one hotel walking distance to this beach, the Kapalua Bay Hotel.

We have been coming to Maui for years and years. At Kapalua Resort, guests are immersed in an authentic sense of place tied to the very essence of Maui. Beyond the deluxe accommodations and lush, tropical surroundings, Kapalua Resort guests experience Maui's people, culture and traditions in a way that most visitors only dream about. There is nothing comparable to this development on the island of Maui. A very special place for your home!

The island of Maui boasts over 30 miles of white sand beaches that range from world-renowned stretches of sand that are easily accessible to undeveloped secret spots known only to locals. Each of them however, features Maui's signature crystal-blue waters, gentle cooling breezes and endless skies. Located on the northwestern shoulder of the Hawaiian island of Maui, Kapalua is only minutes from the historic whaling port of Lahaina. Hawaiian in spirit and setting, it offers so much richness, so much beauty, that people awaken to new potentials. While Hamoa is a public beach, the exclusive Hotel Hana Maui maintains the beach facilities, including beach luaus and Polynesian hula dancing.

Snorkeling is very good, as there are many small coral colonies which host a number of tropical fish. Body surfing and kayaking are also popular. It's a beautiful horseshoe shaped bay with very well developed coral heads. It can be a little tricky getting in and out, as there are some large rocky areas at the water line.

This famous beach fronts Kapalua Bay Hotel & Ocean Villas and includes a beach activities desk offering a wide variety of water sports equipment and activities including snorkeling. The beach cove that fronts the Kapalua Bay hotel is the stuff of dreams: a golden crescent bordered by two palm-studded points. The sandy bottom slopes gently to deep water at the bay mouth; the water is so clear that you can see where the gold sands turn to green and then deep blue. The Four Seasons Hotel, one of the best beach resorts in Hawaii, is located at this beach, and there is a Shopping Village nearby. Whales sometimes appear in winter months.
