Beach overall scores
Kanaha Beach (Hawaii) is located outside the Kahului settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the Maui island and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Kanaha Beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"The beach boasts a stunning location and natural beauty, earning it a perfect 5-star rating. Additionally, the sand is a beautiful golden color. However, it's important to note that there is no accessibility to the beach and no lifeguard on duty. This is a wild and untamed beach, perfect for kite surfing, but don't expect any infrastructure or amenities."
Valeriya Plushenko
"I absolutely adored this quaint and serene beach that wasn't overly crowded. During our visit, there were plenty of wonderful areas to relax with loved ones. The water was perfect for swimming and was protected by a beautiful reef. However, it's worth noting that there were no lifeguards on duty."
