It seems almost unfair not to mention the other top-notch beaches along the way, but Wailea Beach, a few short miles down the coast, has been rated among the best in the United States.
What you get is a scallop-shaped bay, bordered by upscale resorts for Four Seasons, Marriott and Waldorf Astoria.
Fringed by coconut palms is a beautiful crescent of golden sand washed by low waves that are still lively enough for bodysurfing.
Wailea Beach is bookended to the north and south by rocky outcrops, and on calmer days there’s great visibility in these parts for snorkelers.
Love this gallery! Highly recommend the photography class put on by Michael Gilbert, professional photographer. One can learn so much from him, whether you have a smart phone camera or a fancy camera. Love taking home your photo printed on silver paper, ready for framing. I've taken the class three times and learn something new every time.
