Two Iconic Maui Beaches You Should Visit!

Kaanapali Beach


History: Once a retreat for Hawaiian royalty, Kaanapali Beach was one of Hawaii’s first planned resort areas. Developed in the 1960s, it played a major role in shaping Maui’s reputation as a luxury vacation destination.

Activities: This three-mile stretch of golden sand is perfect for sunbathing, swimming, and snorkeling. Black Rock at the north end is a popular spot for cliff diving and underwater exploration. The beach is also lined with restaurants, shops, and beachside resorts, making it an ideal location for both daytime adventure and evening relaxation.

Napili Bay


History: Napili has retained its quiet, residential charm despite being nestled between busier resort areas. It was once a fishing and farming village for native Hawaiians and remains a favorite for those seeking a peaceful getaway.

Activities: Calm waters and a crescent-shaped bay make Napili ideal for family beach day, snorkeling, and paddleboarding. It’s common to see sea turtles gliding through the water. The beach is less commercialized, offering a more laid-back and natural experience.
