Kapalua Beach, Sand beach in Northwest Maui, United States
Protected by two reefs at each end, Kapalua Beach features a crescent-shaped shoreline with golden sand and clear blue water.
Kapalua Beach received national recognition in 2018 when Dr. Beach designated it as America's Best Beach due to its natural characteristics.
Local Hawaiian sea turtles, known as honu, frequent the waters of Kapalua Beach, making it a significant spot for marine wildlife observation.
Visitors can access public restrooms and showers at the beach trailhead, with parking available behind the Tennis Club or at Kapalua Place.
The protected bay creates consistent calm water conditions, allowing year-round swimming and snorkeling opportunities among coral reefs.
