Fodor's Review:

Three steps from South Kihei Road are three golden stretches of sand separated by outcroppings of dark, jagged lava rocks. You can walk the length of all three beaches if you're willing to get your feet wet. The northernmost of the trio, Kamaole I (across from the ABC Store, in case you forgot your sunscreen), offers perfect swimming with a sandy bottom a long way out and an active volleyball court. If you're one of those people who like your beach sans sand, there's also a great lawn for you to spread out on at the south end of the beach. Kamaole II is nearly identical minus the lawn. The last beach, the one with all the people on it, is Kamaole III, perfect for throwing a disk or throwing down a blanket. This is a great family beach, complete with a playground, volleyball net, barbecues, kite flying, and frequently, rented inflatable castles—a birthday-party must for every cool kid living on the island.

Locally—and quite disrespectfully, according to native Hawaiians—known as "Kam" I, II, and III, all three beaches have great swimming and lifeguards. In the morning the water can be as still as a lap pool. Kamaole III offers terrific breaks for beginning bodysurfers. The public restrooms have seen better days; decent facilities are found at convenience stores and eateries across the street.
