Wailea Beach on Maui, Hawaii
Offers Calm Water, A Wide Sandy Beach, And Spectacular Island Views

Nestled along the coast with a backdrop of the Grand Wailea Resort & Spa and the Four Seasons Resort Wailea, the stunning Wailea Beach offers a wonderful snorkeling experience. It offers a fine brown sand beach that gradually and gently slopes seaward almost 30 feet before you encounter depths above your waist.
This is a great snorkel place for young children and adults alike, and is particularly suited for beginning snorkelers. It’s also an ideal place to boogie-board or just paddle around with a mask. If you need to rent a snorkel, mask and fins --- there is a rental stand on the Grand Wailea property.

The best area to snorkel is to the left, as you face the ocean toward the picturesque West Maui
Mountains. Stay along the coral reef stretching out to your left, and after you pass through the cloudy, sandy waters being churned with small waves you’ll see a wide variety of reef life and small fish.
Early in the morning is the best time to snorkel Wailea Beach, with calm and clear water persistent until just after the noon hour. Late afternoon tides often kick-up around 1pm, so experience Wailea Beach as early as you can – even though you’re on vacation.

After 2pm, the waves often increase in size and force, and the water is murky until snorkeling further out into the ocean. Watch for changing tide conditions, but Wailea Beach is not known for strong undercurrents so you will be fine as long as you have fins.
Wailea Beach Park is open to the public (as are all beaches in Hawai’i) and there is a nice parking area with restroom and shower facilities. A sign along Alanui Drive points you to the public area, but there is often a shortage of open parking spots.
