West Ka’anapali Beach

Welcome to the epicenter of fun on Maui’s west side—Kaanapali Beach, where the party never stops! Packed to the brim with resorts, condos, restaurants, and the bustling Whalers Village shopping mall, it’s a beach extravaganza waiting to happen. Imagine this—a concrete sidewalk stretching the entire length of the beach, creating the ultimate spot to snag a tasty bite or a refreshing beverage just steps from the sand. Hula Grill and Leilani’s are the rockstars of this beach, serving up some of the tastiest vibes. And the fun doesn’t end there—book boat excursions that dock right on the beach or grab gear like kayaks and stand-up paddleboards for some ocean antics. Fun fact: Kaanapali was once a playground for royalty in ancient Hawaiʻi, and now it’s a destination all on its own for those staying at nearby hotels. But wait, there’s more! This beach is a marathoner, stretching along the west side with a path in front of some seriously swanky resorts. Surf’s up, and once you’ve had your fill of wave play, why not grab lunch at Leilani’s or Hula Grill? They’re practically beach neighbors, making it the perfect beach day combo. Now, let’s tackle the parking situation—hint: check behind the Hyatt Ka’anapali for public beach access stalls. Otherwise, embrace the convenience and park at Whalers Village, where the beach adventure awaits!
