OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Secret Beach,
also called Makena Cove is one of the most
photographed beaches on Maui. Funny
considering its one of the smallest. A very
cozy, beach. You will feel like you are in a
postcard. The rock formations and palm trees
really add to the lure of this beach. It can
be a little tricky to find if you don't know
where to look. Although its a spectacular
beach, we don't highly recommend it
considering it can be very crowded based on
its size. It is also a very popular wedding
location and may have 3 or 4 weddings going
on at one time. If you
would like to get married here, or anywhere
else on Maui for that matter, we would
recommend
Island Wedding Memories.
This beach is great for sunbathing,
snorkeling and not
much else in the way of activities. It is
possible to swim here but we don't recommend
it considering the reef and rocks that
surround this beach.
There are absolutely no amenities at this
beach, although there is a great food stand
across the street that has good tacos. |

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. |
