Wailea Beach

"Great South Maui Beach for the Family!"

Picturesque Wailea Beach in South Maui with its soft sand and central location is one of our favorite beaches in all of Hawaii!  

The beach fronts the Grand Wailea Resort and is a very long, wide, golden sand beach!  For parents, this beach has almost everything that you could desire.  Convenient parking, bathroom facilities, showers, picnic tables, and rental gear (for umbrellas, beach chairs, stand up paddle boards, kayaks, and snorkel gear) are all there.  It even has a trampoline in the water for kids and has plenty of food options either through the resort or at the nearby Shops at Wailea.  

The water here is usually very calm and perfect for the little ones.  In the winter though it can have some rough surf so be sure to check the conditions before before you let the little ones jump in.  

There is a little shade at the back of the beach towards the middle and south end which tends to get taken early so plan accordingly if you plan to leave the umbrella at home and bring the sunscreen and hats.  

The only drawback to this beach is that it is not a secret just how lovely it can be.  It tends to get crowded very early.  If the crowd is too much for you though, there is a paved walkway that leads to other nearby beaches that are nearly as nice and rarely as crowded.
