Kahekili Beach is a splendid resort beach within the Ka'anapali Beach Resort, named in honor of King Kahekili Nui ’Ahumanu, the final king of the Maui Empire. The beach is a fantastic spot for novice swimmers, snorkelers, and divers, with mild surf conditions and a barrier reef that stretches right up to the beach's shoreline for direct dive-in snorkeling conditions. Large populations of green sea turtles and whales frequent the area, making for great conditions for wildlife watching, though visitors should take care not to disturb turtles in their natural habitat. A boardwalk area and picnic pavilions with barbecue grills provide ample space for relaxation, with significantly less crowds throughout the week than its sister beach, Ka'anapali Beach.
Address: Kahekili Beach, 65 Kai Ala Dr, Lahaina, HI 96761
