OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Kaihalulu
Beach, or better known as Red Sand Beach,
is located opposite of Hana Bay Beach. It is
one of the most unique beaches on Maui and
worth the short hike to experience it. But
WARNING; this beach is known for nude
sunbathing, so exercise caution when
bringing young ones or if that would be
offensive to you.
You have to park some distance away and
experience a short hike to get to this
beach. This beach is tucked away behind the
same hill that acts as a backdrop to Hana
Bay Beach. A very unique feature to this
beach is the natural rock barrier that
surrounds the cove and keeps the bay quite
calm from outside waves even during high
surf.
Things to do at this beach are snorkeling
just inside the barrier. Its a unique
experience. Also, sunbathing here is very
nice.
There are absolutely no amenities, so bring
your own snacks and drinks. Especially since
you have to hike in. |

DIRECTIONS |

Next to the Community Center on Ua Kea Rd., right before the
entrance to the Hotel's cottages, we walked through the open
area toward the trees and found a trail that leads uphill
past old Japanese grave markers, and then along the top of a
very narrow ridge. |

PLEASE NOTE |

While
Hawaii's beaches can bring much enjoyment,
it is always a good practice to use common
sense while visiting them. Please be aware
of the wave & wind conditions before going
into the water. Mornings are usually best
for swimming, snorkeling or diving. Have
respect for the strength of the waves and be
aware that high surf can come up at any
time. NEVER turn your back to the ocean.
Be careful when exploring any rocky
shorelines. Waves can crash on the rocks and
knock you over easily, and the rocks may
also be sharp when walking on them.
When snorkeling or scuba diving, please have
respect for ocean life, and remember that
the coral reef is alive too. Avoid standing
on or touching if at all possible. |
