Kapalua has been recognized by many travel magazines as one of the world's best beaches. Walk through the tunnel at the end of Kapalua Place and you'll see why—the beach fronts a pristine bay good for snorkeling, swimming, and general lazing. Located just north of Napili Bay, this lovely, sheltered shore often remains calm late into the afternoon, although there may be strong currents offshore. Snorkeling is easy here and there are lots of colorful reef fish to see. This area is quite popular and is bordered by the Kapalua Resort, so don't expect to have the beach to yourself.
