Keawakapu Beach North Tours and Activities

Hidden behind a strip of luxury housing, Keawakapu Beach stretches for more than 1,000 metres along the south western coast of Maui. It is a little more difficult to find than some of Hawaii’s more popular resorts, giving it the air of a concealed treasure that is only available to those who seek it out.The Beach is a peaceful spot, ideal for escaping from the crowded tourist trail. Its softly sloping sand-covered ocean floor makes swimming and snorkelling with the kids an absolute joy. There is also a restaurant where you can enjoy some delicious al fresco food straight from the grill as well as any number of grocery shops nearby to pick up the bits you need for an impromptu picnic.Head over at sunrise and welcome in the new day with a spot of rejuvenating yoga on the shoreline’s silken sands. If sun salutations aren’t your style, why not simply take a stroll or jog along the beach and enjoy the glorious view out across the Pacific Ocean.Early morning is also the best time for snorkelling as the waters are clearer and calmer, giving perfect viewing conditions to see turtles and coronet fish frolicking in the shallows. Scramble over the rocks at low-tide to discover a wealth of sea creatures in the protected lava rock pools.A man-made reef 50 metres out to sea makes the Keawakapu coastline a popular destination for scuba divers. The reef was created in the 1960s from a combination of crushed cars, concrete slabs and rubber tyres, and now plays home to a wide variety of sea-life while acting as a breaker against the strong ocean swell.When you’re ready to go home, freshen up in one of the many public showers dotted along the beach before grabbing a bite to eat or jumping back in the car.n get unruly and sandstorms are a defin The beach makes a great retreat, whether for an hour or a whole day. There are no lifeguards here though so be careful if the wind gets up, as the sea can become unruly and sandstorms are a definite possibility.
