Found fish not too far out on the left and turtles around the lava to the right. Beware sitting under a umbrella won't prevent a sunburn! Got toasty red! Had a big shade tree for the little ones and a big beach for lots of swimming. Not for little swimmers as drops off not to far out? Other beaches you could go way out and still be waist high.
This is probably the best beaches around. The sand is smooth and soft and the water is a gorgeous color and calm and perfect and perfect for snorkeling and other activities provided the waters and waves are all behaving on the day you visit. Apart from the beach fun, there are other things that you could enjoy around here as well like the turtle village and the coral world
Well hiden by Makana Beach and Golf resort, the Maluaka Beach is true gem. The sand is soft and the beach never gets agglomerated. Once discovered, probably it becames a holiday favorite.Why I like so much Maluaka Beach? It has excellent parking - I realy like the one on the street first right after you pass Makena Resort on South Makena Road. Has clean bathroom facilities, also you can sit on a very nice lawn. Also, the park is good for outdoor party.Just off the beach, on the left, a charming coral garden awaits visitors. Terrific coral, graceful sea turtles and lots of colorful life. Yes, it's a fishbowl. The adjacent turtle village is another reason to choose Maluaka Beach.
You can get a clear view of the sunset, we visited in October. You also get to see other small islands such as Molokini and the east side of Maui. Great area for an event such as a wedding because of the beautiful background. This beach is small and can get crowded during the day, but by late afternoon the crowds clear out.
Beautiful beach with even more beautiful sea turtles resting in the coves between the black rocks. We rode our bikes here, great work-out!
This was a great place to visit. We snorkeled, even though the water was rougher than usual, and saw plenty of fish. Very nice coral reefs right near the coast. We didn't see any turtles but saw lots of fish. Also the beach itself is really nice with beautiful views.
Our visit was hindered a little due to high surf ,but still breathtaking! Walk to other beaches and turtle town very close.
Did not dislike anything - we had perfect weather - the sand sparkled and is so clean - water was perfect
We went to this beack as it is known as you can snorkel to "Turtle Town" just off the beach. The beach itself is a little tricky to find, but there is free parking and a bathroom. The surf was a little rough but there was good snorkeling. Although ironically one of the only beaches we didn't see a turtle at. A nice beach to sit and watch a sunset at. Nice views and sandy.
Just nice little beach, sandy and gave nice waves not for surfing but for bouncing :) ... .... ... ...
