This beautiful beach is connected to Charley Young Beach and is right across the street from the Maui Vista condo. I love taking a long walk in the sand starting here and ending up in Wailea, with some some small treks across the hotel properties. When you get to the end of Kamaole III, look for the sign that leads you on a short trail that will eventually end up near the Wailea resorts, where you can continue your walk along the gorgeous beach resorts.
