This has got to be my favorite beach in Maui. It is very quiet and almost no waves. My son spent hours here doing his body surfing on the shore line . The water was nice and warm to swim in mid June. I would definitely recommend the snorkeling activity along the rocky side of the beach. Lots of beautiful... More

There is a really nice sandy beach and the area is especially nice for young children since the waves seem a bit smaller. Also tide pools that can be explored. Great beach to come to after breakfast at the Gazebo.

When we visited the bathroom facilities at the public entrance were under renovations and they had port a potties. It was a but uncomfortable. over all it was very... More

We discovered Napili Beach on our last day in Maui. I wish we would have found it sooner. Looked like a great place to hang out and play.

Although the parking lot we found was a bit small, we were able to catch someone leaving and park. Restrooms were being remodled, so only had outhouse. Turtles came right up to shore. Husband said snorkling was a lot better than the tour we took to the crater. Loved the feel of the area and beach as a whole.

We spent a morning here and really enjoyed it. The beach is a bit steep down to the water but there is a nice shelf area you can setup on. The snorkeling was great, we saw two turtles and many different kinds if fish.

Great snorkeling in the coves along the rocks. Plenty of turtles and sea life. Snorkel across the entire cove, you won't regret it!

Nice beach within a small bay. Happy hour available at the bar. Great view ... but that's why you went to Maui!

Amazing snorkeling! Lives up to the name "turtle bay". Lots of sea turtles on the north side of the bay and an amazing amount of fish on the south side. Unless you are staying at Honokeana you have to access through Napili Point property. Just park on the street and walk on through to the shore access. Some of the... More
