Kapalua Bay
History: The name “Kapalua” means “arms embracing the sea,” and the bay is part of the historic Honolua Ranch lands, later developed into the luxury Kapalua Resort. It has long been a symbol of elegance and natural conservation.
Activities: Kapalua Bay is famous for its excellent snorkeling and protected waters, thanks to offshore reefs that calm the surf. It’s a great place for swimming and exploring coral gardens filled with tropical fish. The scenic Kapalua Coastal Trail also starts here, offering beautiful oceanfront walks.
Keawakapu Beach
History: Located between Kihei and Wailea, Keawakapu means “sacred harbor.” The beach remained largely untouched until the development of Wailea in the late 20th century, making it a hidden gem even among locals.
Activities: Known for its soft sand and clear waters, Keawakapu is great for swimming, paddleboarding, and long walks along the shore. The beach is less crowded than others, providing a tranquil escape. At the north end, artificial reefs created from old cars and concrete serve as a unique snorkeling and diving site.
