In reality, all beaches are awesome in South Maui. But, some beaches have more perks than others, it depends on what you're looking for! Best Beach for Shade: Ulua Beach 📍The Ulua/Mokapu Beach parking Lot is found between the Andaz Maui and Wailea Elua Village. Ulua Beach is on the left, or South side of the beach parking lot. The beach is not as large as other beaches, bur the snorkeling is great, and it is one of the few with areas of shade on the beach! Best Beach for Amenities: Wailea Beach 📍Find Wailea Beach Park on your navigation app for convenient parking close to Wailea Beach, the largest beach in the area. It's situated between the Grand Wailea and Four Seasons resorts, with the Wailea Beach Marriott at the north end. Enjoy an array of dining options, ranging from beach-side shacks serving coffee and smoothies to casual pool bars and upscale 5-star restaurants. Additionally, each resort offers diverse shopping opportunities. While the resorts welcome the public for dining and shopping, access to the pools is exclusive to resort guests. Best Beach for Beauty: Makena "Big" Beach at Makena State Park 📍This large "Big" Beach has 3 different parking lot areas, all where visitors must pay for parking to help the upkeep and maintenance of this beautiful beach. The colors are so vibrant here, but we caution that it is not a place to swim. If you are looking for a swimmable beach, we do not recommend going here. #Mauibeaches #Mauibeach #Maui #Wailea #Makena #HawaiiBeaches #Hawaii
