Best Maui Beaches

Hamoa Beach, Maui, Hawaii

Not many visitors to Maui ever make it to Hamoa Beach and that's a shame. It's one of the island's loveliest. It is, however, somewhat remote - which makes it even more attractive for many.

Hamoa Beach is the official beach for the Hotel Hana Maui but is located a couple of miles past town towards 'Ohe'o Gulch on Haneo'o Road. The hotel has taken responsibility for landscaping the area around the beach and it is lovely.

Parking can be difficult since it is only available along the road. The 1000 foot long and 100-foot wide beach is located down a 30-foot sea cliff and is accessed by either of two sets of steps.

Facilities at the beach are only available for guests of the hotel who are shuttled down to the beach.
