Wailea Beaches North to South

Keawakapu Beach - At the southern end of Kihei, where it meets Wailea, lies Keawakapu Beach. This is both a great walking beach and a superb swimming beach. This half mile long beach is backed by private homes, and the surf is usually gentle. To get there, just follow South Kihei Road south to the end (don't turn left onto Okalani Drive up the hill). Continue straight to the parking lot. Facilities include restrooms and an outdoor shower. map

Mokapu Beach - Located behind the Renaissance Wailea Beach Resort, Mokapu Beach is at the northern end of the Wailea beach walk. This paved path wanders approximately two miles along the coast in Wailea, passing all the resort hotels. It's perfect for a morning walk, or sunset stroll.  map

Ulua Beach - Adjacent to Mokapu Beach on the south side, Ulua Beach is a popular spot for snorkelers and scuba divers. Facilities include a restroom and an outdoor shower but limited parking, so get there early as the parking is also used for access to Mokapu Beach.  map

Wailea Beach - Situated behind the Grand Wailea Resort and the Four Seasons Resort, Wailea Beach is a popular crescent shaped resort beach. All beaches in Maui are public, and you'll find an access road and parking lot just south of the Grand Wailea Resort. The beach here is wide and the waters are usually ideal for swimming.  map

Polo Beach - Polo Beach is located behind the Fairmont Kea Lani Resort and Polo Beach Club at the southern end of Wailea. On the southern end of the beach walk, this beautiful beach is usually quieter than the other Wailea beaches. Driving south on Wailea Alanui Drive (the main north/south road), turn right onto Kaukahi  Street just past the Kea Lani Resort to find Polo Beach.  map
