Latest reviews on Kanahena's beaches

Wailea Beach
10 David Thompson

This beach is quite popular among the public and tends to get crowded. One of its main attractions is its cove-like shape, which results in relatively calm waters. Additionally, you can venture quite a distance into the water before it becomes deep. Moreover, there is a significant presence of turtles in the water at this location.

Makena Beach
10 Khalid Alawi

This so-called beautiful beach in Hawaii is just like any other beach, with sand and waves. Sure, it might be one of the most beautiful beaches in Hawaii, but who really cares? The lifeguard is probably just there to watch people drown, and the admission fee is just another way for them to squeeze money out of tourists. Families with kids might as well just stay home and save their money.

Maluaka Beach
10 Landon Jansen

This piece of paradise is definitely worth the journey to witness and indulge in. Bask in the sun, sink your toes in the pristine white sand, and revel in the warm waters. The snorkeling experience is nothing short of exceptional. However, it's worth noting that the water might get a bit choppy if the wind picks up, which is a common occurrence. Overall, this Maui beach is undoubtedly one of the finest!

Keawakapu Beach
10 Alex K.

This beach is truly amazing and offers a wide range of activities that cater to everyone's interests. The sand is absolutely perfect and there are also nearby rocks that are ideal for snorkeling.

Kamaole Beach Park I
10 Lena Thompson

The beach is stunning and every time we went, my daughter was lucky enough to have sea turtles swim up to her. If you arrive early, around 11, you can find some shaded areas on the left side of the beach.

Palauea Beach
10 Lysandra Larkspur

I had an amazing experience at this beach. It was incredibly secluded, with only a handful of people present during our visit between 10am-1pm. We were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of some sea turtles, and the rocks were teeming with colorful fish and stunning corals. I highly recommend bringing swim shoes, as the entrance to the spot is lined with trees that occasionally drop thorns. Overall, this beach is a must-visit for anyone seeking a peaceful and picturesque escape from the crowds.
