Look for a little road and public parking lot wedged between the first two big Wailea resorts -- the Renaissance and the Marriott. This gets you 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.
