There can be no Maui vacation without the Maui beaches.
The above statement is not an exaggeration. The Maui beaches continue for well over 32 miles and have a combined coastline of more than a hundred and fifty miles! Your bottle of suntan lotion will be over way before you have explored the fascinating Maui beaches. They are the ideal spots for water babies who want to indulge in swimming, sunbathing, surfing, and other such water activities. After knowing all these, can you still think of a vacation in Maui without hitting the Maui beaches?
All the Maui beaches have crystal-blue pure water, tropical winds, and perfectly blue skies. Though most of the Maui beaches have white sand, there are also a couple of black and red sand Maui beaches to enthrall you. All the beaches are enticing surfing and windsurfing destinations. There are also water activities in which the entire family, including children, can participate. And if you are not so fond of water and water activities, you can always settle for a dip in the comfortable warm waters, or settle down in the beach for a tan.
Most of the beaches are located towards the west of Maui. There are 18 miles of beach between Kapalua to Olowalu. The best Maui beaches are in the resorts. However, if you are of the kind who wants to have a quiet and peaceful holiday, away from the hustle and bustle of other tourists, off beaten parts are also good choices, so that you can relax and enjoy yourselves.
