Nominated by Sunset Magazine as the world's nicest beach. Located on Highway 30 in Kapalua. Look for public beach access between the Napili Kai and the Kapalua Bay Club. Once you have parked in the public parking lot, proceed through the tunnel next to the showers and restrooms to the beach. The best snorkeling and diving is across the beach on the right. The water in the bay is usually calm and protected, however, there may be strong currents offshore.


This area supports a large population of reef fish and is a good location for beginners because of the easy entry.
