The Many Beaches Of Maui

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.

For example, if you are an ocean adventurer and want to head out for a few hours of surfing, then Honolua Bay might be an excellent spot for big waves. If you are a newbie to the sport, you might want to consider the smaller waves of Kaanapali Beach or perhaps in Kihei. If it's your first time, take a lesson or two and select a beach with smaller waves.

After a day or two of surfing, you might want to switch things up and grab a kayak and explore the island and coastline. There are many kayaking companies providing rentals and guided tours or you can go it alone. For a shorter trek or a trip for beginners, consider kayaking in Kihei. La Perouse Bay is a great spot for any level of kayaker, and Makena Beach or Honolua Bay are other good kayaking spots. Known as "Canoe Beach," Hanako'o Beach Park is a more remote place where locals go get their kayaking fix.

There are many beaches that are ideal spots for swimmers. A few Maui beaches that are suitable for swimming include Kaheliki Beach Park, which has shallow waters that are ideal for families to enjoy. DT Flemming features beautiful shoreline and a few coves that are great for swimming. Don't forget to rent some snorkeling gear and take a look at the myriad of fish that call Maui home. You're also sure to see a few of the island's beautiful turtles, as well. Kaheliki is a great snorkeling spot, but there are plenty of other options including taking a tour boat out to Molokini crater and checking out its reef.

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.

If you do wish to marry in Maui, it is essential to hire a Maui wedding planner. At Love Maui Weddings, the experienced wedding planners can help you handle all of the details of your wedding. They offer a variety of wedding packages, from intimate elopements to simple and elegant beachfront weddings to larger scale events at local resorts or plantations. A Maui destination wedding is an excellent option for those who love Hawaii and are looking for an adventurous, memorable and romantic wedding day.
