About Ulua Beach Park
Ulua Beach is a crescent-shaped cove in Wailea known for its exceptionally calm, clear turquoise waters that make it ideal for snorkeling and swimming, with excellent visibility for spotting green sea turtles and tropical fish year-round. The beach features golden sand backed by lava rock outcroppings and native coastal vegetation, creating a more intimate and scenic setting than nearby Wailea Beach. The generally uncrowded atmosphere and well-maintained facilities make it a favorite for families and snorkelers seeking protected reef access without the crowds.

Public parking and great beach. Definitely worth going!
Nice beach park with plenty of parking for day use when I visited in the late afternoon on a weekend. Great place to watch the sunset. Nice paved walking trails that you can go pretty far past a lot of nice hotels. Even watch a free luau.
Wonderful beach. A must when visiting Maui
Ulua Beach is an excellent place to snorkel on Maui. We've tried many of the different places over the years ( Black Rock, Ahihi, Turtle Town, Airport Beach, Po'olenalena, MM14, Charley Young Beach, Kam 1-3 and others); Ulua beach is our new favorite. As shown in the picture, there is a large reef ( red circle ) to snorkel along with a distinct edge / drop off where you can see tons of coral, fish, sea urchins ( black, red, zebra striped ) as well as turtles with some regularity. There is public parking ( blue and purple lines ), clean bathrooms, and a nice outdoor shower for rinsing off the salt water. If you are in the Kihei or Wailea area and want to snorkel, this is a great place to do it.
Ulua Beach Park in Maui is a tropical paradise that offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and recreational opportunities. The crescent-shaped beach boasts soft, golden sand and crystal-clear waters, making it an ideal spot for swimming, snorkeling, and sunbathing. The marine life here is remarkable; you can spot colorful fish and even sea turtles while snorkeling. The park is well-maintained with picnic areas and showers, making it family-friendly. The scenic backdrop of palm trees and lava rocks adds to the charm. Whether you're a water sports enthusiast or just seeking relaxation, Ulua Beach Park is a must-visit on your Maui itinerary.
