About This Beach
Kapalua Bay Beach is a popular crescent-shaped bay on Maui known for its calm waters, excellent snorkeling opportunities, and proximity to resorts. While the sand is soft and the snorkeling is exceptional, featuring abundant fish and turtles, the beach's popularity leads to significant overcrowding and parking difficulties. Amenities such as restrooms and showers are present but may be poorly maintained.
