#122 of 606 Outdoor Activities in Maui
"Like almost all beaches in south Maui, the sand is perfect and waves are gentle, but this
beach
is lined mostly by expensive ($10M+) homes and the
beach
can’t be seen from the street, so it is often missed."
"Extremely beautiful beach with gorgeous views of nature .My 3 old daughter liked it a lot.You can see small fishes in tide pools.And
sunset
was worth watching.Loved the place !"
