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
