Favorite Beaches

Napili Bay -- South of Kapalua Our number one favorite beach Napili Bay is usually best for swimming and skim boarding along the shoreline. Sometimes has dangerous shorebreaks, but is usually the most calm beach. An excellent snorkeling spot. The north end by Napili Kai Resort Hotel is usually calmer than the south end. The south end by Napili Surf Hotel has little tide pools that are fun to explore and splash around in for little ones. Occasionaly you can spot a turtle swimming there. Both ends of the beach have rinsing showers. Airport Beach - North of Black Rock in Ka'anapali My Husband and son like to make sandcastles here-- They say the sand sticks together better here.
