Consider Kaanapali and You May Be Pleasantly Surprised

While one of Maui’s most beautiful beaches may have caused you to give Kaanapali a second look, upon closer examination you may be wondering how you are ever going to pass the time until you set foot in this island paradise.

Located on the northwest coast between Kapalua and Lahaina, Kaanapali’s spectacular beachfront is certainly no secret. Honestly, how could it hide its four miles of golden splendor from the throngs of tourists who are drawn to water sports like swimming, snorkeling, parasailing, body boarding and more? While this may seem like an impossible feat, it actually manages quite well.

With such an expansive space at its beck and call, Kaanapali offers the crowd-weary traveler an opportunity to discover a little serenity and seclusion on a prime piece of sand. You won’t have to jostle for the perfect sunning spot here; rather, all you need to do is seek out a spot in between the pockets of crowds and you can have a private little area to enjoy the beach as you see fit.

While you may find it difficult to leave your perfect sandy base, one worthwhile excursion is waiting for you on the horizon. Snorkeling at Black Rock is sure to be one of the most memorable parts of your trip as schools of tropical fish and hordes of sea turtles congregate around this coral-encrusted rock. And since the water is clear and calm, even the inexperienced can strap on fins and goggles and catch a glimpse of this underwater world.

When it comes time to pull yourself away from the water to enjoy other aspects of Kaanapali, you don’t actually have to leave the beauty behind. The seaside mall Whalers Village is a shopaholic’s dream come true with upscale boutiques and fine dining options, while the two courses of the Kaanapali Golf Resort surround you with the sight of the Pacific Ocean and West Maui Mountains. Even Kaanapali vacation rentals get in on the action with cozy balconies in full view of stunning Maui sunsets.
