OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Ulua Beach is
a very beautiful beach with calm, crystal
clear water and a great reef outcropping
spreading out into the Pacific. For this
reason, this is one of the most popular
snorkeling and scuba diving locations on
Maui. The calm water makes it a great place
for beginners. Many of the Dive companies
hold there scuba classes here.
Because of the calm water, we highly
recommend this beach for families and those
who want to snorkel or scuba dive,
especially beginners. The morning is best
for snorkeling and diving because the
tradewinds can come up in the afternoon and
rough the water up a bit. Occasionally,
there can be some surf, and when this
happens, the boogieboarding is great.
This beach has bathrooms and showers for
your convenience. |

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. |
