4. Kapalua Beach

Kapalua is a small tourist region located in the northwest of Maui. The beach is flanked on either side by rock formations that stretch out in a crescent shape like two arms hugging the warm waters. It's no wonder that its name means "embracing the sea". With its powdery sands and clear blue waters, you too will find yourself embracing this little slice of heaven on earth. This natural fortification acts as a defence against the elements, creating a calm and safe oasis that is perfect for swimming and snorkelling all year round.

5. Keawakapu Beach North

Keawakapu Beach in southwest Maui is a welcome break from the hustle and bustle of some of the more crowded beaches nearby. Also as it’s wider than its sandy sisters, locating the perfect spot to sit back and soak up the sun won't be an issue. Impressive beach houses, restaurants, apartments and hotels line the beachfront while palm trees are dotted along the shore, providing shade for those who like to venture out in the early morning to do some yoga on the cushiony sands.
