Maui: Beach & Hikes 

Check out my other guides and recommendations for Maui!

The beaches are organized by geographic area on Maui. Be sure to look up the "beach access parking" on Google maps, or your device to find the parking area. The listed beaches all have possibility of viewing sealife, like turtles. Please be mindful or your trash and use reef safe sunblock only.

Honorable mentions for the list. These beaches are worth a visit if you are in Hana. Less likely to see turtles and snorkel in these areas, but worth the hike and ocean vista.

This is a comprehensive guide with viewpoints, pit stops, and parking recommendation for your journey to Hana. It's definitely not as scary as people make it seem, and worth renting a car and driving by the coast yourself to take the necessary time. This guide follow Highway 360, so you are not taking the "backway". 

It is ideal to take at least 2 to 3 days to see and hike everything along the way. The guide is organized by by the route, with more details on Hana, Wainapanapa and Kipahulu.

This guide includes: mapped stops along Road to Hana, hotel recommendations, food recommendations, activities and hiking recommendations, and reservations links.
