Wailea

• Makena Beach

  address: South Makena Rd
  A beautiful stretch of beach south of Wailea that is good for swimming. There are two beaches Big Beach, which is the main one, and Little Beach, which is over a hill at the north end of Big Beach. Facilities are limited with just pit toilets and a few picnic tables. It's a good idea to bring your own food if you want to eat as the concession trailer is very expensive for what you get.

  address: 4100 Wailea Alanui Dr
  All suites. Super-service restaurant in the hotel is Nick's Fishmarket. Nick's dinners are fantastic, especially the fresh-caught local seafood. A few open-air tables offer ocean views; come just before the beautiful sunset hours - also see the tiki-torch lighter as he circles the hotel grounds, lighting them along the way. Expensive but the food, service and view are all unforgettable.

• La Perouse Bay

  address: S Makena Rd
  The end of the road where the lava from Maui's last eruption flowed into the sea. There are some stables near the parking lot and a rocky beach, although it isn't recommended for swimming. There are also a couple of hiking trails, including the Hoapili Trail which winds its way along the coast through some shade and then strikes inland over the lava fields to Kanaio Beach some 2 - 2.5 miles away. The coastal parts are quite pretty but the section through the lava can be long and warm.
