This long stretch of white sand is ideal for families looking for a little relaxation on one of Maui's most beautiful beaches. You will find amazing views of neighboring islands Kaho'olawe, Molokini, and Lanai jutting up from aqua marine waters. Small outcroppings of rocks and coral make for decent snorkeling around the northern tip of the beach. The south end of the beach picks up most southern and western swells if big enough, and can create a great left reef break that requires some skill to navigate but offers tons of fun. At the north end of the beach you'll find the Mana Kai Maui Resort hotel which is also home to the Five Palms Restaurant, which boasts some of the closest dining possible to the ocean and a great bar for catching a sunset with a Mai Tai in hand. Adjacent to the Mana Kai is Sorento's On the Beach, a fine dining establishment that offers breathtaking sunset views and an amazing menu accompanied by a great wine selection.Many families come to Keawakapu to relax, but it's also a great place for both stand-up paddling and kayak launches as the water is relatively calm with little current. Unfortunately the beach doesn't have an active lifeguard on duty, but this beach is relatively safe for swimming; of course discretion is advised depending on ocean conditions. A little secret to this beach is that the Maui Trade Winds, notorious for ruining your beach day, are relatively blocked, especially towards the Mana Kai Resort end. The shore break is small and fun, which makes this beach ideal to let the kids play in the gentle waves, and the sand is perfect for castle construction. Overall, Keawakapu Beach offers something for everyone in the family to enjoy, making it a Maui favorite! Located at the southern most end of Kihei, Keawakapu Beach is split between both Kihei and Wailea. From the Piilani Highway, take the Kilohana road exit towards the ocean. Follow the road to the bottom of the hill where entrance to the parking lot will be found on the left side of the road before you meet South Kihei road. If heading south on South Kihei road, turn left onto Kilohana road and the county parking lot will be immediately on your right. Parking is free and the lot hours are 7 am to 7 pm daily.

Our series on tropical getaways, or possibly better named ‘I’m freezing to death and can’t take it any more’, continues on this Polynesian jewel. A tropical getaway Maui style. Tropical Getaway Maui The diverse landscape of Maui resulted from a determined and active team effort of geology and climate. Over millions of years the volcanic cones of the Hawaiian islands poured out very fluid lava from thousands of vents. Two particularly adversarial volcanoes spit the hot molten brew at each other until it overlapped creating a two headed island with a narrow strip of land between. Note the red island on the map below. History of Maui The earliest name of the island was Hikapalaumaewa. Bonus points if anyone can come up with a pronunciation or better yet get a travel agent to book a flight there. According to native Hawaiian legend the Polynesian navigator Hawaiʻiloa, who is credited with the discovery of Hawaii, renamed the island after his son who had been named for the demigod Maui. Tourists from around the world thank you Hawaiʻiloa,for the abbreviated title of this tropical paradise. With the nearest continent 3000kms away trade winds can whip themselves into quite a frenzy by the time they reach Hawaii. Bouncing off mountains and shooting down valleys over open slopes it’s like a confused wind storm. Maui’s irregular topography results in variations in rainfall, wind speed and cloud formation. At over 10,000 feet above sea level, at the volcanic summit of Maui’s Mount Haleakala the temperature can play peek-a-boo with the freezing mark. Watching the sun rise from the pinnacle can be a view of a lifetime….or you can die of hypothermia on a tropical island. One or the other. Don’t I look thrilled to be freezing in the pouring rain waiting for daybreak? Not exactly the tropical getaway Maui intended for me! On this trip we booked a cycling tour from the top of Haleakala to the valley below.The ride although not physically demanding, requires intense concentration and speed management. Sadly over the years several riders have died losing control on the switchback turns and the cycling tours are no longer allowed within Haleakala National Park. On a more peaceful note, Maui’s beautiful beaches present endless snorkeling opportunities. Turtles of all sizes seem curious to have their own tropical getaway Maui style. Guidebooks and locals are quick to instruct that touching the turtles is harmful. I wish someone would tell the turtles who seem determined to make friends. One the size of my torso was intent on getting up close and personal. Can you see him being camera shy below the fish? Hiking to the Nakalele blowhole in Northern Maui, the intensity and subsequent results of the lava spitting competition lay bare for all to see. Well at least for those not worried about getting drenched with ocean spray. The force of the waves crashing on the rock has worn away an area under the shelf of hardened lava. A hole has developed and now in geyser like imitation the crashing waves produce a massive fountain. By this point I am begging Hubby for some relaxation on the beach. ” Oh but we are so close to the Olivine Tidal pools” pleads my ‘how-many-things-can-you-do-in-a-day?’ partner. The guide book describes the hike down to the warm pools on the barren lava beds as unforgiving for those who are not sure footed. Pack your hiking shoes…oh yes and your parka for Haleakala at sunrise. Well it is a beautiful spot to be sure. “What’s that Hubby?” You just want to go over by the edge?” It’s like going on vacation with an explorer…or possibly a six year old. The photo above was taken by me just seconds before Hubby planted himself at the far edge of the tidal pool. You may have heard of rogue waves…you know the kind that sweep people out to sea…. well one appeared out of nowhere behind Hubby. I don’ t think I’m exaggerating when I say the wall of water that came crashing down on his smiling head measured 15 feet high. Then the wait for a sign of him….one….two….three…. I wonder if there is cell phone coverage out here….four…five…six…. I wonder if I remember my life guarding rescue dives……seven….eight….nine…. my pace is picking up across the lava bed………and up his head pops out of the water….slightly dazed with a big grin. Can you feel my relief? Such a relaxing tropical vacation. Following that I was firmly planted in my beach chair. Can you spot Hubby in the water? The guy is relentless with the activity bit. I think he was swimming out to the boat. Would you like to escape on a tropical getaway Maui bound? Photo credit- #4(map) and #8 – Wikimedia Commons
