Ulua Beach sits directs in front of Elua Village Resort and just to the north of the Wailea Marriott. Ulua and the adjacent Mokapu Beach share the same driveway, parking area, bathhouse, and outdoor showers. As you face the ocean, Ulua Beach is on the left, and seems to be more popular than Mokapu Beach. There is a lava outcropping at the north end of Ulua Beach, which makes for good snorkeling in the early morning hours. Ulua is a great sandy, swimming, and boogie boarding beach and is a favorite for locals and visitors alike. Ulua Beach is also the beginning of the famous "beach walk" which runs all the way from Ulua Beach to the Kealani Resort-about 3/4 of a mile. This is a paved walkway and is a fabulous walk anytime of day~but especially toward sunset. Ulua Beach offers plenty of parking, restroom facilities, and outdoor showers.
Cautions:
Monitor ocean conditions carefully. Strong currents and high surf may occur at any time. Rock hazards are present. Obey all postings and warnings. No lifeguard.

Big Beach...Maui's Prince of Beaches |
|
 Arguably the finest beach on the island of Maui, Big Beach is a favorite among locals and visitors alike.
One look at Makena and it's easy to see how this beach got its nickname. This is the largest beach in south 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, sunbathe on the expansive sand, or have lunch on a picnic table.
Big Beach is located past Wailea -- an area that tends to be less crowded than other parts of the island. Nestled in between two black-lava outcroppings, the beach offers much desired protection from the trade winds and provides great views of the islands of Molokini and Kahoolawe.
Driving Directions:
From Kihei, head south on Pi'ilani HWY toward Wailea Ike Dr (about 5 miles). Turn right on Wailea Ike Dr. Turn left on Wailea Alanui Dr, continue on Makena Alanui Dr about 2 1/2 miles to marked parking lot with large white boundary stones on left. |
