Kaʻanapali Beach

Kaʻanapali Beach, located in one of Maui’s first resort towns, stretches along a long, idyllic expanse of white sand. High-rise hotels line the shore, creating a bustling atmosphere that contrasts with the more remote beaches of West Maui. The beach is a hub for both water and land activities. Visitors often come to swim and watch cliff-divers, but the area also offers opportunities for shopping, golfing, and ziplining. During the right season, whale-watching is a popular activity, and a variety of water sports are available year-round.
