in south Maui this beach is clean and peaceful with snorkelling by the rocks that is pretty good - amazing if you see a water turtle loom over you, as big as a small car!!!

“The best swimming beach in Kihei and Wailea.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2012
5
people found this review helpful

Absolutely gorgeous beach. Nice and wide and long. Never crowded. Lots of space for everyone. Go for an early morning walk as the sun rises to the east over 10,000 foot Haleakala mountain. The light and colours at this hour (7 to 7:30 AM) are spectacular. The beach runs from the Mana Kai resort in the north down to just across the Wailea border in the south. One very large, shaded parking lot with a walkway to the beach halfway down it's length and a smaller lot at the south end of South Kihei Road. One day while I was in the water a woman saw a sea turtle swim by not ten-feet away from her. Pretty cool! Showers near both parking areas.

Keawakapu beach has amazing sand, easy snorkeling (we saw lots of turtles) and never seems to be crowded. A hidden gem.
