MAALAEA BAY
 |
Description:
Maui's southwestern shores are home to many extraordinary beaches and Maalaea Bay, also known as "Big Beach," is one of the island's best.
This is one of the largest beaches in Maui, with golden sands extending nearly 2/3 of a mile long and 100 yards wide. Visitors can swim or snorkel in these pristine waters, picnic in the shade, or simply sunbathe on the seemingly endless expanse of sand.
Big Beach provides a secluded alternative to more crowded beaches in Kaanapali and Lahaina. Nestled between two black-lava outcroppings, Maalaea Bay offers protection from the trade winds and provides great views of the islands of Molokini and Kahoolawe.
