About Po‘olenalena Beach
Po'olenalena Beach offers some of Maui's clearest turquoise waters and dramatic golden sand backed by native kiawe trees, creating a secluded feel despite easy accessibility. The calm, protected bay makes it ideal for snorkeling to spot green sea turtles and tropical fish, while the uncrowded shoreline attracts a mix of local families and visitors seeking a quieter alternative to nearby Wailea beaches. The golden hour light here is particularly striking, with the sun setting directly over the ocean and illuminating the West Maui mountains in the distance.

Love this stunning beach! Never super busy. A little tucked away and great spot for a walk. Beautiful water, lovely rock features and natural landscape
Just a little over a year ago. I got proposed to! I will forever cherish this place in my heart! The golden hour at this beach is phenomenal. The beach itself was super clean, and it was rocky in some areas. Overall, this is the perfect place to relax, watch the sunset, get proposed to, or even married at! Enjoy this beautiful place!
Our family's favorite beach. Very pleasant, quiet beach with nice sand, great swimming, and snorkeling off of rocky points. Not crowded and some shade.
We had our wedding on the beach at sunset and this was the perfect place. It was close to our hotel and very quiet. There was plenty of free parking. There are some shaded areas. The sand was very soft and it was a beautiful place to unwind.
Not so busy, good for swimming, snorkel. Some trees for the shade. Plenty of parking , no shower , honey buckets only
