Maui Beaches


Maui has a lot of beautiful white sand beaches. Ironically, as jam packed with tourists as Maui is, you can still find a deserted beach or two with a little looking. This picture is of Po'olenalena Beach at about 10am in the morning. The back side of the beach is lined with $10 million homes but Hawaii has a beach access law that lets everyday Joes like us visit these spots.

Ironically, Kaanapali, one of the most famous beaches on Maui is just a thin sliver of a white sand beach and the water was washing up to the top of the beach drenching sunbathers. Kaanapali was also jam packed with wealthy, well fed, untanned tourists.

The moral of this story is it pays to look around for an uncrowded beach unless, of course, you're just there to shop.
