The black sand of Hamoa Beach is one of the best

beaches on Maui. The water isn’t too rough, there

are no rocks in the surf, the crowds are minimal,

and the nearby scenery is amazing. For a beach

vacation, Hamoa Beach is tough to beat.

Hamoa Beach is about a five to ten minute drive

from the town of Hana. The drive is easy to make,

with lots of great scenery along the way. There

isn’t a parking lot, so you’ll need to park on

the side of the road and walk down the steps to

the beach. Parking isn’t normally a problem

because the beach is never crowded.

There is a beach hut on Hamoa Beach that rents

body boards, snorkeling equipment, and even gives

out towels to guests of the Hotel Hana Maui.

There are also beach chairs and umbrellas that

are for guests only.

Unless you are a guest and want a chair, the best

spot on Hamoa Beach is on a big towel right in

the center of the black sand. There’s plenty

of shade on the beach, so you won’t have any

trouble getting out of the sun when you have had

your fill of it.

The water at the beach isn’t rough and there are

no rocks to cut you as you swim. The waves here

can get quite large, although they are easier

to swim in than other beaches on the island.

Hamoa Beach is an excellent beach vacation spot,

offering something for the entire family. There

is always something going on here, no matter

what time of year you visit. For a beach vacation

that never lets up - Hamoa Beach is where you

need to be.

All across the world, there are several locations you

can choose for your family beach vacation. Below,

you will find many different locations, and what

they will offer you and your family.

Maui

Throughout the West Coast of Maui, you’ll have many

choices for your beach vacation. If you plan to

enjoy golf, the Kapalua Resort is a great choice,

as guests will receive 30% lower golf rates than

those who don’t stay at the resort. The resort

also includes the Kapalua Bay Hotel, Kapalua Villas,

and the Ritz-Carlton Kapalua.

One bay over from the Kapalua Bay is the Napili Kai

Beach Resort, which is a low rise family resort

that offers comfortable beach front condos. The

Napili Kai also offers complimentary programs for

children ages 6 - 12 from mid June to the end of

August, during Easter and Christmas. The condos are

seconds away from the beach, and they include

kitchens as well as laundry facilities.

If you prefer a more secluded area, the Maui Prince

hotel is located in a quiet setting surrounded by

two scenic golf courses and a large sandy beach

that kids never seem to get enough of.

Mololai family adventures

The island of Molokai is filled with empty beaches,

no traffic lights, and few tourists. Many tourists

visits only for a day or so, with some going to

Molokini (which is a snorkeling site near Maui).

The island of Mololai is accessible by ferry from

ideal for those who like the outdoors with a twist

of adventure. When you visit here, you shouldn’t

expect shopping or nightlife.

a spa, golf course, and a 1/2 mile sandy beach.

children under the age of 16 can stay for free in

the same room as their parents.
