Best Maui Beaches

Aloha to all our Best Hawaii Vacation blog visitors,
What did you think of Keoki's unique Mauna Kea Summit Adventure? Wasn't that something different to do on a Hawaii vacation?! Well, as you can you see a Big Island vacation is not 'just' a beach vacation, even though we really love our Mauna Kea Beach and Hapuna Beach - best and most popular white sand beaches of the Big island - a Big Island vacation is all about adventure, many beyond the ordinary like visiting our live Volcano Kilauea at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

If the choices are adventure or beaches, we must admit the big majority of Hawaii visitors vacation in Hawaii for its beaches. Is there anybody who can resist a pristine white sandy beach embraced by the exotic fragrances of Hawaiian flowers? Not me! So, when family plans are made for the next Hawaii vacation, it's all about booking a hotel or Hawaii vacation rental, as close as possible to the beach. Whatever Hawaiian island tourists are visiting, their most asked question is 'Where are the best beaches?'. The Hawaiian island which is most well-known of its beaches, is without any question Maui.

So when our friend Julie from Ideal Vacation rentals, one of our guest author of Best Hawaii Vacation Blog and Maui expert, started her new Maui Vacation Guide blog with her first post 'Favorite Maui Beaches', I decided to let her be the expert on Best Maui Beaches. She tells you all about Maui beaches from the perspective of a Maui visitor: best snorkel spots, closeness to Maui resorts and hotels and even shows you some Maui beach photos. Here is the beginning of her 'Maui beach' blog post:

"It is a fact that Maui beaches are rated among the best in the world, and water sports are unsurpassed. Kaanapali Beach is one of our favorite beaches, and here you can either walk for miles on the sand, or take a leisurely stroll along a pathway, which extends from the Hyatt, through Whaler's Village and ends up at the Sheraton Hotel. Black Rock, a popular snorkeling spot with a nice sandy beach is directly in front of the Sheraton.

If you cut through the Sheraton, the walkway continues and goes to Kahekili Beach Park (formerly called airport beach). There is good reef just to the right, in front of the Maui Westin Resort. Here we have seen green sea turtles, lots of colorful fish, octopus and moray eels. The nice thing about this beach, is that because it is a state park it has washrooms, showers, picnic tables, BBQ pits and a large parking lot."

Go visit 'Maui Vacation Guide' for reading Julie's entire bog post on best Maui beaches, including beaches in Kapalua, Napili, Kihei, Wailea, Kaanapali and Makena. Any thoughts on your favorite Maui Beach? We'd love to hear them. Mahalo, Pua Hawaii Vacations

You were wondering who the sexy girl on the beach in Hawaii is. Easy to answer. It's beautiful Amber from WahineStyle.

Pua
Many mahalos for featuring my new blog on your Hawaii vacation blog.

I just touched on snorkeling spots in this one, but intend to write a blog just about Maui Snorkeling in the near future. I always enjoy reading your informative articles. You are amazingly dedicated and I admire all your hard work.
Much Maui Aloha
Julie

As you know snorkeling is on top of the lists of things to do when in Hawaii, right next to the Hawaiian beaches.

So, we and our blog visitors are looking forward to reading about your favorite Maui snorkel spots, with lots of beach photos, we hope.

Mahalo, Pua

Each Maui Beach has it's own nice features. I like going to the Kamaole Beaches on South Kihei because it's close to where we live. "The Cove" is good for learning how to surf; and Makena is great for visitors wanting to see a spectacular beach :)

It's with the beaches as it is with the Hawaiian islands: it all lies in the eyes of the beholder and what you want to do on the beach: snorkeling, surfing, sun bathing, finding shells with the kids.

Mahalo Maui Blog for letting us know which Maui beach you like.
Aloha, Pua

Hawaii Tours said...

Thanks for the tips. I wished you have posted more amazing photos of Hawaii.. :D

Aloha Hawaii Tours,
Well, we didn't write this post and Julie from Ideal Vacation Rental did not submit Maui beach photos. Photos speak a thousand words!

If you have a few photos of Maui beaches to share with our blog visitors, please, email those. We will be happy to give you the credit for those photos.

As you probably noticed, our Hawaii home base is the Big Island and actually we are just in the process to shoot some new Hawaii beach photos here on the Kona Kohala Coast.

So stay tuned for more about the beauty of Hawaiian beaches on the Big Island. Aloha, Pua
