Maui: A Beach For Any Occasion

By Ella Hemmings


If you love nothing more than spending the day on a scenic beach, then Maui is probably a great match for you. The second largest island in the Hawaiian archipelago, Maui offers dozens of beaches and each is especially suitable for specific activities.

Hawaiians love to surf which isn't surprising considering that their Polynesian ancestors invented this popular sport. There are plenty of great surfing spots on Maui, although some do tend have the big waves more suitable for experienced surfers. If you crave the adrenaline rush of big waves, head to Honolua Bay or perhaps Peahi, which is a fantastic tow-in spot. If you are just starting out, the milder waves at Kaanapali Beach will be a much better option and a lot less intimidating.

Along with surfing, kayaking is highly popular throughout all of the Hawaiian Islands, and Maui has many great kayaking spots. There are quite a few outfitters who run kayaking tours or rent kayaks, and the tours range from shorter tours for beginners to longer adventures for more advanced kayakers. Honolua Bay and Makena Beach are a few other spots to consider. If you like solitude, check out the waters of Hanako'o Beach Park.

Of course, you don't need a surfboard or kayak to enjoy the water, many people simply just enjoy swimming or snorkeling in Maui's waters. DT Flemming is a great spot for swimmers, with several coves ideal for splashing about. Families often head to Kahekili Beach Park due to the mild waves and shallow waters. Snorkeling can be enjoyed at many beaches, such as Kahekili Beach or you can opt for a boat trip out to the Molokini crater. This is located just off the coast and snorkelers typically can see turtles and some colorful fish near this volcanic crater.

One of the reasons why many couples choose Maui as their destination is because of its romantic nature. Maui is a destination wedding hotspot and thousands of people head here to marry or renew their vows. Kapaula Bay is a great spot for a beach wedding, particularly in the late afternoon. Makena Cove is a romantic wedding spot or you could opt for the scenery of Napili Bay, DT Flemming or even Keawakapu Beach.
