Pulehu must see attractions

1. Wailea Beach

The luxury Wailea resort community occupies 1,500 acres (607 hectares) of land. The area is surrounded by lush tropical vegetation. Wailea Beach is a wide stretch of sand, perfect for an afternoon of sunbathing or building sandcastles. It’s surrounded by four smaller beaches and has a broad range of shops. Rent a kayak or snorkeling gear, or book a guided scuba dive to see the green turtles up-close. This popular, family-friendly beach has many facilities.

3. Kamaole Beach Park

Kamaole Beach Park is actually three parks in one, with sandy stretches extending 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometers), broken up by rocky barriers jutting into the Pacific Ocean. The beaches are identified as Kamaole I, II and III or just Kam I, II and III by locals. Spend time at all three and return to your favorite again and again during your Maui vacation.

4. Keawakapu Beach North

Keawakapu Beach is more serene than its quite touristy neighbors on the southwestern shore of Maui. This beach stretches for about 1,200 yards (1,110 meters), and you should have no problem finding a good spot for sunbathing on the soft, white sand. If you’re looking to escape the crowds or for a spot to let the kids roam free and build sandcastles, Keawakapu Beach is for you. Scuba divers come here to see the fish species attracted to the artificial reef made from old cars.

5. Molokini

Molokini is a partially-submerged volcanic crater, creating a picturesque crescent-shaped atoll off the Maui coast. It’s thought ethnic Hawaiians used to paddle to Molokini to fish and harvest the eggs of seabirds. Today, the established Molokini Island Preserve is all about protecting nature, and visitors are invited to enjoy its crystal-clear waters. Tour operators can only moor off the coast of Molokini, because visitors are not allowed to set foot on the island itself.

True: You can snap great shots of Molokini—a horseshoe-shaped crater off Maui’s southern coast—from La Perouse Bay, Makena Beach, and all of Wailea (to say nothing of some shots you can grab from upcountry and Haleakala summit). But to do this marine reserve justice, it’s best to hop on a boat and see it up close. The Kai Kanani provides just that, with two daily snorkeling tours departing from Makena’s Maluaka Beach and taking visitors to some of the preeminent snorkeling and diving destinations on Earth. While the crater alone makes for excellent photographs, it’s the underwater gems that you’ll want to share with others and remember for yourself, from manta rays as large as capes to Hawaii’s state fish, humuhumunukunukuapua’a. http://www.kaikanani.com/molokini-snorkeling-tours/

6. Maluaka Beach

Maluaka Beach has some of the calmest and warmest waters of Maui’s shoreline and is sheltered from trade winds. This makes it prime snorkeling territory, especially in the morning. If you want to see Hawaiian green turtles, add Maluaka to your itinerary; this is the place to see the large marine reptiles up-close!
