Kamaole II Beach

Kamaole II Beach is a sandy stretch in Kihei with rock formations at both ends, suitable for swimming and snorkeling. The water here tends to stay clear enough for underwater exploration and relaxation.

During World War II, the location served as a training ground for the United States military, changing its use temporarily. After the war, it returned to public use and became a community beach.

The name Kamaole comes from Hawaiian language and carries meaning connected to the coastal area. This naming reflects how the place remains rooted in local heritage and traditions.

The beach offers restrooms, showers, and lifeguard coverage during daytime hours. Parallel parking is available along the road that runs beside the sand.

From this shore, visitors can spot three islands in the distance: Molokini, Kahoolawe, and Lanai stretching across the water. This view is rarely this clear from other spots on the island.
