Keawakapu Beach in southwest Maui is a welcome break from the hustle and bustle of some of the more crowded beaches nearby. Also as it’s wider than its sandy sisters, locating the perfect spot to sit back and soak up the sun won't be an issue. Impressive beach houses, restaurants, apartments and hotels line the beachfront while palm trees are dotted along the shore, providing shade for those who like to venture out in the early morning to do some yoga on the cushiony sands.

A vibrant hub of water sports and activities, Honolua Bay is one of those rare destinations that has something to offer all year round.

It’s no surprise then that’s it’s one of the most popular attractions in Maui.
