Maui Beaches

Maui is known for its world class beaches with over 120 miles of coastline and 30 miles of beaches. Many of these are easily accessible parks with restroom facilities, picnic tables and lifeguards. Other beaches offer seclusion and privacy to create that romantic get-a-way.

Although you’ll find black and red sand beaches in a couple of locations most of Maui’s beaches have beautiful white sand that is free of debris and seaweed. Several of Maui’s beaches have been rated as world-class for their sand, surf, snorkeling, and romance. Beach access is usually good but parking can become more difficult as the morning passes. Also realize that the sun in Maui is probably stronger than you’re used to and it’s very easy to get burned. Bring along a lot of sunscreen and be careful. Also it's usually a good idea to bring a hat and a t-shirt for covering up when needed.
