Napili Beach


Napili Beach is located off Hui Drive at Lahaina on the island of Maui in Hawaii and is just over three miles from Kapalua-West Maui Airport. Maui is the second largest of the Hawaiian Islands and Napili Beach is situated on the northwest coast of the island. This is a very popular beach for families and visitors wanting to try various watersports.

The beach is noted for its fine white sand, its crescent shape and inviting blue seawater. Whilst the sand is ideal for children to play on, parents should keep an eye on them when they paddle or swim in the sea as there is quite a sharp slope making it unexpectedly deep water near to shore. That said the beach is located between two rocky points making it good for swimming and other watersports.

The winter months are the best times for surfing and body boarding here as the waves can be high. On the other hand the summer is the best time of year for swimming and snorkeling, especially near the offshore coral reefs at the north end of the beach. It can be very busy here during the holiday season as the beach is used mainly by guests of the Napili Kai Beach Resort.
