Kapalua Bay

4.7Free

A picturesque Maui beach with calm clear waters and excellent snorkeling

Kapalua Bay is a sheltered crescent cove along West Maui known for its calm turquoise waters and fine golden sand. Protected by two rocky outer points, the bay provides ideal conditions for swimming, paddleboarding, and snorkeling alongside sea turtles and colorful Hawaiian reef fish. Public beach access is readily available, and the bay connects directly to the scenic Kapalua Coastal Trail.

Quick tip: Arrive early in the morning to secure a spot in the small public parking lot before it fills up.
