OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Makena Surf Beach is a nice, quiet, beach. It usually
doesn't get very crowded. Makena Surf Beach is located right
on the border of Wailea & Makena in
front of the Makena Surf Condominiums. It is
basically the very south end of Poolenaena
Becah. This is
one of our favorite beaches. It is a popular
beach for weddings. If you want to get
married here, try
Island Wedding Memories.
It is a
stunning location with palm trees, a rocky
point, and the islands of Molokini and
Kahoolawe as your backdrop. The sunsets here
are amazing.
You can swim and snorkel here along the lava
rock outcropping and reef. Sometimes there
are little waves for boogieboarding that the
kids will love.
The only thing here is a shower to wash off
the sand, so plan accordingly. The public
parking lot is quite small also, so get
there early. |

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. |
