Ulua Beach at a Glance
Ulua Beach is the third of five beaches in the Wailea resort complex development on Maui’s south shore. It’s the most popular of the five Wailea beaches. The beach is quite long and sandy, located between two rocky points.
One of the reasons why Ulua Beach is more popular is that when the surf it up a little, it’s usually a little higher here than at the surrounding beaches, attracting many bodyboarders and swimmers who enjoy the waves.
During calm days, the snorkeling here is excellent. The water is very clear and there are many colorful corals and fish. The nearshore ocean bottom is shallow and drops off gently. Ulua means “adult crevalle fish” in the Hawaiian language.
