When you’re looking for the perfect place to spend a day at the beach, you’ll want somewhere that checks off all the boxes. A quiet place for your morning walk, calm and clear water for snorkeling like at Molokini Crater, and cooling off with shady palms for afternoon naps, and front row seats when the sun goes down. And you won’t have to look far! The best beach in South Kihei is right off your lanai. Kamaole Beach II has it all, so grab your sunglasses and get ready for a beach day!

Kamaole Beach II Quiet Calm Conditions for a Morning Stroll

Like a Haleakalā National Park Sunrise Hike, even before the sun touches the tops of the palms you’ll find the early risers walking the beach. There’s nothing quite like a quiet morning stroll down to the point to watch the boats go out of the harbor and see the nesting birds take flight. It’s a peaceful and magical time on Maui, and well worth the early wake-up call.

The Best Snorkel & Swim for Families, Kids, and Experienced Swimmers

The morning waters are perfect for a mellow adventure after breakfast. Hop on a paddle board and cruise the calm waters to spot all kinds of creatures from above, or dive right in. Snorkeling is easy and accessible right off the beach — perfect for kids, first-timers, or even experienced swimmers looking for a quick dip. The waves are gentle this time of day, and the whole family can enjoy some time together in the pacific! You might even find a town of green sea turtles while snorkeling away.

Relax with Books & Beach Toys at Kamaole Beach II

The sun is getting high in the sky, everyone has had lunch, and you’re feeling a little lazy. Time to grab the beach toys, a good book and find that shady spot in the sand!

Boogie Board and Surf’s it Up at Kamaole Beach II

Grab your boogie board, it’s time to hit the waves! In the afternoon the waves kick up and are just big enough for the young ones — or the young at heart. So grab your boards and join in on the action! Or, if you’re more of a spectator, now is the perfect time to take out the camera and capture those great memories of catching a first ride.

The Best Show on Earth

A day at the beach isn’t complete without a sunset. You only need to take a short walk across the grassy lawn to your unit to freshen up and grab a drink, and then head back down to watch the show. Dinner is on the grill, the air is still warm, and you’ve been barefoot all day. Now that’s what we call paradise!
