It’s impossible to pick just one of Maui’s beach parks – there are just too many contenders. Your favorite beach will depend on your preferences and exactly what you’re looking for. Here are just a few of our favorites: As the name suggests, Big Beach is one of the largest beaches on the island. It’s […]
There are gorgeous Maui beach parks on every part of the island, but West Maui is generally the most popular area. West Maui has more resorts, hotels, bars, and other touristy attractions that draw visitors to it. It’s also the most developed part of the island, so there are plenty of restaurants and places to […]
You can certainly drive up to the summit of Haleakala and watch a Maui sunrise on your own, although we’d recommend taking the family with you. The view of the sun coming up from the top of the volcano is one of the most beautiful sights on the island and something that nobody will want […]
The summit of Haleakala is the most popular place to watch a Maui sunrise, which means it’s often fairly crowded. In order to prevent the parking lot from getting too overcrowded, the Parks Service offers reservations to see the sunrise on a specific date. The reservations only cost $1.50 since the system is really just […]
You can certainly get around Maui’s beach parks without a rental car, but we wouldn’t recommend it. There’s not much of a public transportation network on the island, and it can get expensive to pay for cabs all the time. Renting a car will also allow you to take some of Maui’s gorgeous scenic drives […]
There are plenty of places to see a gorgeous Maui sunrise on the island, but perhaps none is better than the summit of Haleakala. “House of the Sun ” in Hawaiian, Haleakala is a massive shield volcano that actually covers about 75% of the island. In traditional Hawaiian mythology, the crater at the volcano’s summit […]
Maui’s beach parks are spectacular on any side of the island, but the beaches on the leeward side are generally considered to be the most beautiful. To save you a Google search, “leeward” is a term that refers to the side sheltered from the wind. On Maui, the wind tends to blow from the northeastern […]
Maui’s beach parks feature plenty of beautiful waterfalls, some easier to get to than others. Twin Falls is one of the easiest ones to access, only a short hike away from the road. It’s one of the first stops on the Road to Hana, the island’s most famous scenic drive. The name “Twin Falls” is […]
Maui’s beach parks are beautiful year-round, but we’d recommend visiting in April or May if you get the choice. The weather during this time is pretty mild, usually in the 70s and 80s, and the spring is in between two busy seasons so the crowds won’t be too bad. April is also when the Maui […]
There’s plenty of gorgeous water to be found at Maui’s beach parks, but the clearest is in Honolua Bay, especially during the summer. Honolua is Hawaiian for “two harbors,” and the bay was originally used to receive ships and unload supplies. These days, however, Honolua Bay is a Marine Life Conservation District, which means fishing […]
