5. Kapalua Beach

Kapalua is a small tourist region located in the northwest of Maui. The beach is flanked on either side by rock formations that stretch out in a crescent shape like two arms hugging the warm waters. It's no wonder that its name means "embracing the sea". With its powdery sands and clear blue waters, you too will find yourself embracing this little slice of heaven on earth. This natural fortification acts as a defence against the elements, creating a calm and safe oasis that is perfect for swimming and snorkelling all year round.
