Fodor's Expert Review Wailea Beach

A road near the Grand Wailea Resort takes you to Wailea Beach, a wide, sandy stretch with snorkeling and swimming. If you're not a guest at the Grand Wailea or Four Seasons, the cluster of private umbrellas and chaise lounges can be a little annoying, but the calm unclouded waters and soft white sand more than make up for this. From the parking lot, walk to the right to get to the main beach; to the left is another, smaller section that fronts the Four Seasons Resort. There are picnic tables and grills away from the beach. Amenities: parking (no fee); showers; toilets. Best for: snorkeling; swimming.
