5 Makena “Big Beach,” Maui
This beach is well over a half mile long and has plenty of room to relax without being on top of your neighbor’s beach towel. Enjoy whales breaching in the winter time with views of Molokini and Kahoolawe. The beach is calm for most parts of the year, but when a swell rolls in the shore break can become dangerous to those who are inexperienced. The waves during a south swell can be very powerful and big. This beach is good for boogieboarding, body surfing and swimming. Lifeguards are on duty here, be sure to check with them if the waves look big. There are no showers here but there are porta potty’s available. There are two parking lots, Entrance One and Entrance Two, both very limited on parking stalls. Third entrance is street parking, be aware of signs and residential driveways.
