Hana Bay is the perfect beach gathering spot for a view
of nature in action. This impressive black sand beach was
created thanks to years of lava erosion and is now a safe
and fun swimming haven. It’s the safest swimming beach on
East Maui.
The bay is protected by a coral reef and harbored from the
harsh swells by its circular shape. So parents can relax
when the kids go swimming here thanks to the absence of
a dangerous shorebreak.
Outrigger canoe racing is frequently practiced in Hana Bay,
and it is also snorkeler’s paradise due to the calm waters
and wide variety of colorful marine life. Hana Bay makes
a wonderful family outing and picnic spot or sets the stage
for a memorable romantic stroll.

Safety Tip
Whatever beach in Hawaii you visit, please have in mind that the ocean can
be very dangerous. Never turn your back against the waves and watch out for underwater
currents and always check the surf conditions. Pay attention to signs posted on
the beach. If you are not sure about the conditions, ask the lifeguards (if any
on the beach). Please click here to
