Kanaha Beach

Kanaha Beach Review

Windsurfers, kiteboarders, joggers, and picnicking families like this long, golden strip of sand bordered by a wide grassy area with lots of shade. The winds pick up in the early afternoon, making for the best kiteboarding and windsurfing conditions—if you know what you're doing, that is. The best spot for watching kiteboarders is at the far left end of the beach. Drive through Kahului Airport and make a right onto the car-rental road (Koeheke); turn right onto Amala Place and take any left (there are three entrances) into Kanaha. Amenities: lifeguard; parking (free); showers; toilets. Best for: walking; windsurfing.
