Kapalua Bay at a Glance
Kapalua Bay on Maui’s northwestern shore is one of the
most picturesque white-sand beaches on the island. It
has a crescent shape and is bordered on both ends by
rocky points. Coconut palms make for a scenic backdrop.
Swimming is good here because a coral reef protects the
beach from strong currents, making it an ideal beach for
novice swimmers and children. Because of a lack of
strong waves and currents, the inshore waters are
usually clear, so the snorkeling and diving conditions
are good, especially at the north end of the beach.
There’s a little bit less sand there, so the visibility
is better.

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
