Maui’s beaches are beautiful and relaxing to enjoy, however conditions can change

often times without notice. Always check for posted hazard signs and heed all

directions given by lifeguards and Ocean Safety Officials.

• Check conditions before going in the ocean. Pay special attention to

shore breaks, strong currents, and undertows

• Sharp rocks, debris and other elements are not always visible so

use caution when entering the water

• Never swim in murky water. This usually occurs after heavy rain

• Never turn your back to waves as they can knock you over unexpectedly

• Be aware of your surroundings, especially if in an area where others

are surfing, body boarding or similar

Official Lifeguard tower is located on DT Fleming Beach Park.

Leaving Kapalua Resort and heading north will take you to the quiet,

beautiful and adventurous side of Maui.

MUST SEE SPOTS:

• The next beach after D.T. Fleming Beach and before Mokule’ia Bay is a hid-

den gem. Don’t let the long stairway deter you, once at the bottom the gold-

en sand, cooling shade trees and crescent shaped beach is worth the hike!

• Look out point at Honolua Bay - this pull out on the ocean side of the road

gives you views of the surf and the beautiful Honolua Bay from above.

Local vendors offer their wood carvings and fresh coconut drinks to enjoy

• Continuing past Honolua Bay on the winding road north you come to

Nakalele blowhole, a beautiful site to see the power of the ocean, however

enjoy at a distance as it can be dangerous. As a rule of thumb, safely view

from the areas with dry rocks. Once you get to the bottom of the trail at the

blow hole, turn left and you will see a heart shaped hole that has formed in

the middle of the rocks. This makes for a fantastic photo opportunity!
