Who wouldn't love Keawakapu with its long stretch of golden sand, near-perfect swimming, and stunning views of the crater and Kahoolawe? It's great fun to walk or jog this beach south into Wailea as the path is lined with over-the-top residences. It's best here in the morning as the winds pick up in the afternoon (beware of irritating sandstorms). Keawakapu has two entrances: one at the Mana Kai Maui Resort (look for the blue shoreline access sign and the parking at Kilohana Street), and the second at the dead end of Kihei Road. Toilets are portable.
