Wailea Beach Walk

USA> Hawaii> Maui>

Overview

hike3.3int

This hike follows the Wailea shoreline. Along the way are beautiful beaches, resorts, palm trees, manicured lawns, luxury homes, paved shoreline walkways, rock outcrops and patches of naupaka. You'll enjoy hours of walking in the sand at waterline with frequent views across the water to Kaho'olawe, Lanai and the West Maui mountains. Go early as the route tends to get hot and crowded by mid morning. On the plus side, you don't have to carry much food or water as supplies can be purchased along the way.

Park in one of the lots for Kamaole Beach Park near the intersection of Alanui Ke'ali'i and S Kihei Road. The hike begins by walking onto the beach and turning left (south) along the shoreline.

There are public parking lots with beach access at both ends of the route and several points in between. You can start from either end or from somewhere in the middle if you prefer a shorter hike.
