A Maui Beach Vacation

Are you feeling the urge for a Maui beach vacation? Well, in my humble opinion, with over 30 miles of alluring beaches, Maui is sure to have a stretch of sand that's just what you're looking for!

Now I don't know about you, but before I'd been to Maui myself I found the prospect of choosing a beach rather daunting. I mean really... 30 MILES of beaches? Just how is a person supposed to narrow THAT down?

If you're staying in an oceanfront Maui hotel, resort or condo, odds are, it's already located on a prime stretch of beach, and will be perfect for the average Maui beach vacation day.

But if you're NOT staying at a beachfront property, or you want a beach that's NOT average, and UNIQUE compared to all the others, then let me help you narrow down your choices!

1) Our Favourite Beach

2) Great Beaches for Swimming, Suntanning, and Lounging Around

3) Unusual Beaches

4) Last but not least...

Our Favourite Beach

It didn't take us long to decide on the beach that we thought was the BEST BEACH we'd ever been to.

I truly couldn't ask for a better beach to swim, snorkel, and lounge around on during our Maui beach vacation days!

If you have children, you'll be glad to know that this west Maui stretch of white sand paradise is great for families too!

More Great Beaches for Swimming, Suntanning, and Lounging Around

Of course, not everyone is staying on West Maui... if you're staying in South Maui, there are great Maui beaches there too.

If you're looking for a beach where you can spend a day swimming, suntanning and relaxing either as a couple or with children, we've made a list of the best beaches in Maui for that! These beaches are all located in close proximity to the major resort areas in Maui.

Unusual Beaches

If you're like me, you'll eventually get the urge to head off the beaten path, to Maui beaches that are different from the rest... (Link will open in new window.)

Not sure where to go?

No problem!

Here are my THREE most intriguing beaches:

• A swath of red sand that many have referred to as a SECRET BEACH...
• Waianapanapa Black Sand Beach
• Nahiku Cove

Last, But not Least...

Last, but not least, we have 2 more noteworthy beaches for you!

• Big Beach: What can I say? This beach is really BIG... a wild and undeveloped gem South of Wailea.
• Little Beach: This beach is also south of Wailea - trust me, you'll want to know what you're getting into BEFORE heading over here for your Maui beach vacation! Birthday suits anyone??

As always, I love to hear from my fellow Maui travelers - so, I have to ask...
