Lifeguards are on duty, free parking along the street is possible if you come early (approx. before 9 am). Entrance fee is 5 USD per person (October 2022), parking at the beaches parking lot is 10 USD ...

Visit Makena Beach, Oneloa (Big Beach), for the many natural wonders. Miles of pristine white sand sprawls across this coastline. It is nearly 2/3 miles long and over 100 feet wide. The gorgeous sand and clean waters attract snorkelers, swimmers, and sunbathers. As with most beaches on Maui, pay attention to the rip tides. Enter the water based on ...
From West Maui, drive south on the Honoapiilani Highway. Go past Maalaea Harbor, and turn right at North Kihei Road.

Turn right when you see the entra...
You’ve found the perfect getaway with Oneloa, but be careful of the dangerous shore break. Oneloa Beach has a steep slope into the ocean. The strong waves here have injured people's necks and backs.

- DT Fleming Beach Park. Why we love it: Located in Kapalua, this beach has a little bit of everything. You can relax on the long sandy beach, catch some shade under the ironwood trees, or bodyboard in the waves.
- Kapalua Bay Beach. Why we love it: Named the best beach in America by Dr. Beach in 2018, this spot offers everything you could want for a day. A protected cove that can shelter you from a majority of the waves (but not all!)
- Napili Bay. Why we love it: There is something so relaxing about Napili Bay. Even though you’re on west Maui, there are no high-rise resorts in sight, just nice little hotels and inns.
- Kahekili Beach Park (Airport Beach) Why we love it: Also known as Airport Beach, this beach is the northernmost beach in the Ka’anapali resort area but it is significantly less crowded than Ka’anapali Beach.
- Keawakapu Beach. Best for sunsets. Sunsets feel like a party in South Maui, with small crowds gathering every afternoon to watch the sun drop behind the ocean (you might even hear applause).
- Kapalua Beach. Best for families. At the southwestern tip of Kapalua, this golden crescent is an easy place for parents and kids to spend the day. Families can swim, snorkel, look for green turtles, play in the sand, rent stand-up paddleboards or simply sunbathe and kick back with a good book.
- Wailea Beach. Best beach for a party vibe. If you’re looking for a scene, this is it. And we mean that as a compliment – this is Maui, not the mainland, so the beach vibe never feels over-the-top, just fun.
- Big Beach. Best beach for open space. Big Beach is a glimpse of Maui untamed. Backed by a tangle of kiawe trees and flanked at both ends by lava outcrops, this golden strand in Makena State Park stretches for nearly a mile and is free of commercial development.
Big Beach is as 3,000 ft long stretch of soft and near water pounded sand with shade trees back of the hundred foot wide sand beach. Great place to swim, snorkel and boogie board. The breakers can get high with undertow at certain times.
