Mokapu and Ulua

Mokapu and Ulua Review

Look for a little road and public parking lot near the Wailea Marriott if you are heading to Mokapu and Ulua beaches. Though there are no lifeguards, families love this place. Reef formations create tons of tide pools for kids to explore, and the beaches are protected from major swells. Snorkeling is excellent at Ulua, the beach to the left of the entrance. Mokapu, to the right, tends to be less crowded. The Renaissance Wailea fronting this beach is closed, and construction of a new property (an Andaz resort, from Hyatt), is currently under way. Amenities: parking (free); showers; toilets. Best for: snorkeling; swimming.
