If you love the beach, then it’s tough to do better than Kaanapali on Maui. It’s regularly rated as one of the best beaches in Hawaii, and often in all of the United States.
Kaanapali is a three mile expanse of golden sand, bordered on one side by the aquamarine Pacific Ocean, and on the other by an impressive array of resorts and condominiums. Families vacation here, couples honeymoon here, and everyone enjoys the various water sports for which the area is known.
Snorkelers are delighted by the sights around Black Rock. Experienced snorkelers call the conditions here superb, and even beginners can enjoy the sport here when the ocean is calm. Of course, opportunities for swimming abound. Because it’s so popular to test the waters at Kaanapali, lifeguards are stationed at regular intervals in an effort to avert any trouble in paradise. The clear, calm waters are absolutely irresistible!
When it’s time to come in out of the sun, visitors will find plenty of shops and restaurants to capture their attention. Sample fresh seafood and authentic Hawaiian cuisine at nearby eateries, then indulge in some shopping. There’s no better place to pick up a touristy t-shirt and some postcards.
