OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Sugar beach is
the longest beach on Maui, running between
North Kihei and Maalaea. Some have said its
12 miles long, and some 2 miles. We would
say its around 5 miles in length. Because of
the length and great view, its a very
popular spot for joggers and walkers,
especially in the early morning. It's a
narrow beach that's not very crowded at all.
The strong afternoon tradewinds probably
account for this. Although this beach is
nice, for spending the day at a beach, we
would recommend heading south to one of the
Kamaole beaches or one of the beaches in
Wailea.
Again, jogging and walking are great here.
Because of the wind, the windsurfing and
kitesurfing is great. There are even some
surfers and boogie boarders out occasionally
when the swell is up.
There are no amenities at this beach. |

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. |
