With 120 miles of coastline, the island of Maui claims more than 30 miles of gorgeous beaches with golden to red to black sand. There are beaches to satisfy everyone’s styles; undeveloped sandy beaches (Big Beach), family beaches (Kamaole), a couple of nude beaches (Little Beach and Red Sand Beach), and highly developed beaches lined with hotels (Ka’anapali Beach). Maui holds two of the world's best windsurfing beaches, Kanaha Beach Park and Ho'okipa Beach Park.
The list of things to do on Maui is endless but the most popular attraction has always been the long stretches of fabulous, easily accessed white sand beaches with easy whale watching from shore and many choices of water sports.
Enjoy your time on the beach in Maui whether it be frolicking, swimming, going for a romantic walk, or building sand castles!
