Maui Beaches
<h1>Maui Beaches</h1> <p align=right>by John Foley</p> <div align=justify>Maui Beaches<br /> <br /> The island of Maui is home to some of the most amazing<br /> beaches. Some beaches offer swimming all year round,<br /> while others are best for surfing or snorkeling<br /> during certain times of the year. Depending on <br /> where you choose to stay, there are always some <br /> famous beaches nearby.<br /> <br /> West Maui beaches<br /> If you drive along the west coast of Maui from Lahaina<br /> to Kapalua, you'll see many breathtaking beaches<br /> along the coast. Kaanapali Beach will offer<br /> you over three miles of white sand with a variety<br /> of watersports, including surfing, sailboating,<br /> and even catamaran rides. On the north end of<br /> the beach is Black Rock, which is well known for<br /> snorkeling.<br /> <br /> Visitors like the sandy beach at Napili Bay, <br /> because there are no high rise buildings around,<br /> and the bay is protected well from waves. The <br /> Kapalua Resort in west Maui is home to Kapalua <br /> Beach, Oneloa Bay Beach, and the D.T. Fleming<br /> Beach.<br /> <br /> South Maui Beaches<br /> The rule with Hawaii and Maui is that the further<br /> south you travel, the less crowded the beaches<br /> will be. <br /> <br /> Kihei offers you a series of beaches along the<br /> six mile coastline, some even offering lifeguards,<br /> restrooms, and picnic areas. Polo Beach and<br /> Wailea Beach offer both restrooms and equipment<br /> rentals. Or, if you prefer a more secluded beach,<br /> you should visit Maluaka Beach at the Maui <br /> Prince Hotel - where you may even encounter some<br /> green sea turtles.<br /> <br /> A few miles past the Maui Prince Hotel is the <br /> Big Beach of Makena, which is one of the best<br /> beaches on Maui. As the name implies, the beach is<br /> quite large, and best of all - empty. It offers<br /> white sand, picnic facilities, and even restrooms.<br /> <br /> East Maui Beaches<br /> The beaches of East Maui are unlike others in<br /> Hawaii. Surround by lush scenery, the beaches are<br /> secluded, scenic, and very colorful. <br /> <br /> Hamoa Beach is a must visit if you plan to visit<br /> East Maui. As you approach the beach from the<br /> main road, you'll walk past colorful plants and<br /> palm trees surrounding Hamoa Beach. Just off Hana<br /> Highway is Hana Bay Beach, which offers black<br /> volcanic sand.<br /> <br /> The Red Sand Beach is difficult to get to, you'll<br /> need to find a narrow path along the coast. The<br /> beach offers plenty of swimming and snorkeling,<br /> and you should be the only one there - which is<br /> great for those looking for privacy. Even though <br /> it is hard to get to, Red Sand Beach is truly one<br /> of a kind.<br /> <br /> Article Written By J.
