The area features 4 world-class golf courses. There is lots of shopping and dining, new condos, hotels, time-shares, and shopping malls – all located just steps from the beach.

Up the coast line from Ka’anapali Beach, is Black Rock Beach which features high lava rock formations and is a popular spot for cliff jumping enthusiasts. Honolua Bay is one of the best places for snorkeling and scuba diving in the summer months and a popular spot for experienced surfers in the winter. There are breathtaking views in all directions.

The West Maui Forest Reserve and the West Maui Mountains are also close by for hikers to enjoy. Kapalua Bay and D.T. Fleming Beach Park are connected by the 1.75 mile-long Kapalua Coastal Trail. Each of these beaches have been named the number-one beach in the United States. In short, West Maui has something for everyone and is an awesome place to live.

The sunny northwest coast of Maui was once a retreat for Hawaiian royalty and the capitol of the Hawaiian Kingdom. Today, Lahaina’s rustic buildings recall its days as Hawaii’s busiest port, while bustling shops on Front Street and winter whale watching make it a favorite port of call for cruise ship passengers.

A few minutes up the highway you’ll find yourself drawn into the vibrant Ka’anapali resorts where a stroll on the beachwalk is always in order. Families play on the beach, shoppers buzz in and out, and diners sit back and simply soak in the view.

The islands of Lanai and Molokai are just across the channel, and as the West Maui sun sets, its rays wrap around the islands, washing the coastline in a magical glow. Which sunset is the best? You’ll have to find that out for yourself.
