This is one of our favorite spots on one of our favorite islands in the world. You can stay in the beautiful hotel or rent a condo on the professional level Kapalua Bay golf course. Either venue will allow you to enjoy the island of Maui in ways that are unrivaled in any other location.
Aside from the golf on the Arnold Palmer designed course and the weather, the big attraction is the beach which is absolutely fantastic. It is large enough that you will rarely be crowded but at the same time it is small enough that you won’t have a lot of people walking over you looking for shells. The beach is about 20-30 yards deep and the waves rolling up to it are just right for playing in – not so aggressive that they knock you over but not so meek that you feel like you are on a lake in the Midwest.
A special attraction of the beach is that it offers wonderful snorkeling on both ends. The beach is guarded on both ends with small peninsulas of rock and this offers the underwater wildlife a great venue for living.
HINT: stop at a local grocery store and buy some frozen peas or frozen corn, take this out in the water with you when you snorkel and throw a few handfuls around yourself. You will instantly be the best friend of several hundred fish as they swarm around you.
