Wailea Beach is one of the most popular beaches on the island, and with good reason. The soft golden sand is perfect for strolling and sunbathing, and the peaceful water is great for swimming and snorkeling. Because of the beach's location in front of two major resorts, it tends to be quite busy and crowded, so visitors are advised to show up as early as possible to ensure they get a spot. Stand up paddleboards, kayaks, and other water sports equipment can be rented on the beach, and there are plenty of restaurants and shops within easy walking distance.
