KIHEI BEACH PARKS ON MAUI KIHEI GOOGLE MAP

Along the 6 mile stretch of South Kihei Road, on Maui's sunny south shore, there are a number of small and large beach parks. Here's what you can expect to find as you drive from the north end to the south end:

Ma Poina Oe Lau Beach Park - also known as Kihei Pavilion, or Ohukai, it's located at the foot of Ohukai Street. This beach is popular with windsurfers when the wind is blowing "kona". It's a narrow strip of sand, with some shady kiawe trees and a concrete pavilion.

Hawaii Islands Humpback Whale Sanctuary - is jointly managed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the State of Hawaii, Department of Land and Natural Resources. The sanctuary is renovating existing facilities, building a new multi-purpose building on site and removing the existing storage sheds. The month of February is peak humpback whale season so it's the perfect time to get outside and spot humpback whales. Come on by and explore the Sanctuary and discover Hawaii's special marine life. At the foot of Kaonoulu Street.

Kalepolepo Beach Park - next to the Whale Sanctuary and across the road from The Villas at Kenolio is a small shady park. Close to north Kihei condos like Menehune Shores, Koa Lagoon, Village by the Sea, Kihei Bay Vista, and Kihei Bay Surf. It's easy to miss this 1.5 acre park, with parking space for only 9 cars. There is a shower and portable potties.

Kalama Beach Park - located in mid Kihei, this 36 acre park has everything. The beach itself is small, but the park provides excellent facilities for picnicking and family outings... tables and barbecue grills, showers and restrooms, telephones, grassy areas and spacr for volleyball, basketball, baseball, soccer and tennis.

Cove Park - next to Kalama Park and very popular with the beginner surfers. It's just a half acre, with a small boat ramp. There is a nice surf break right in front of the park, and you can take surfing lessons here.

Charlie Young Park - is a little harder to access, with only a few parking spots. No public restrooms, and only 1 shower. This is a long stretch of sandy beach though, and the park is 5 acres.

Kamaole Beach Park I - 3 acres with a beach volleyball net, picnic tables and grills, restrooms and outdoor showers. There's a lifeguard on duty at this sandy swimming beach. Off street parking for 18 cars. Located at the foot of Ke Alii Alanui, with an ABC store across the street so you can pick up supplies like sunscreen and cold drinks.

Kamaole Beach Park II - the smallest of the Kamaole parks, and no off street parking provided. Nice sandy beach with a lifeguard station/police substation at one end. Tables and grills. Close to condos such as: Kihei Alii Kai, Kihei Akahi, and the oceanfront Royal Mauiian condo building.

Kamaole Beach Park III - 10 acres with lots of green space and shady picnic areas. Plenty of tables and grills, and loads of parking. This is a favorite spot for family get togethers and you'll often see tents set up, or bouncy castles on the weekends. Definitely my favorite Kihei beach park. Across the street from the popular resort condos of Kamaole Sands, Hale Kamaole, and Maui Park Shore.

Kihei Small Boat Ramp - paved access to a rocky/sandy shoreline with plenty of parking. Hoses for cleaning off the boats, showers, telephone. The boat ramp is protected with a jetty for safe access for boats of all sizes. Directly across from the entrance to the Mau Kamaole vacation condos.

South of here you'll find even more beaches, in the Wailea and Makena areas. Bigger and better beaches! But that's another post for another day.

If you're thinking of buying a vacation condo on Maui, there are a lot of choices.... oceanfront, beachfront, hi-rise or low-rise, old or new. Let me help you decide which one is best for your needs.

SOUTH KIHEI ROAD - Kihei KIHEI GOOGLE MAP

Maui's friendly resort town on the south shore.

On Maui's south shore you'll find the resort areas of Kihei, Wailea and Makena, all rolled into one zipcode.... 96753.

Back in the early 1970's there was not much in Kihei but a few beach homes, a small shopping center (Azeka's - You might remember the famous Azeka Ribs!) with a post office and some fruit orchards. All that changed when the planners decided to allow 6-story condo buildings for Kihei, and a major building boom ensued.

South Kihei Road was the only road then, a narrow 2 lane road that pretty much followed the coastline from Maalaea Bay south to Wailea. Beyond that was just a dusty trail leading to Makena Beach further south. There were no traffic signals, and the road was bumpy and filled wit pot holes.

Today South Kihei Road still follows the coast, and it's more built out. There's traffic lights on some of the corners now. The newer Pi'ilani Highway is located inland, encompassing most of Kihei between it and the sea. The 6 mile strip consists primarily of various styles of condo buildings and little malls, beaches and parks.

I drove along South Kihei Road yesterday and took these pictures... they are all looking north. The first one is up near the north end of the road, where there are some '70's beachfront condo buildings such as Koa Lagoon, Village by the Sea, Menehune Shores and Waipuilani. Most of these condos are zoned for vacation rentals, so they're very popular with visitors who like to come over every year in the winter time.

The original shopping center - Azeka Place - is what would pass for Downtown Kihei. Here is where you'll find the Post Office, the movie theaters, many restaurants and shops, a medical center and professional offices. The cross street is Lipoa Street.

Just a little further south in the middle of Kihei is Cove Park, which has a nice little surf break, and Kalama Park, which hosts the Whale Day Celebration each year... coming up soon by the way.

Mid-Kihei has some streets with oceanfront homes and condos. Halama Street has some expensive oceanfront single family homes that come on the market from time to time, well over $4M. Uluniu Rd has beachfront condos and homes.

Kihei shopping covers it all, except the big box stores. You'll find plenty of open air markets for clothing and trinkets, and local produce including pineapples.

Churches of many kinds are located along South Kihei Rd, including St. Teresa Catholic Church. The larger hotel resorts have wedding chapels for those who want to have a romantic Maui wedding by the sea.

On the south end of South Kihei Road, you'll find all the best Kihei beach parks... Kamaole Beach Parks I, II, and III. These parks have bathroom and shower facilities, picnic tables and barbecues, and lifeguard stands. Golden sand and small waves make for some very fun beaches that can be enjoyed by everyone.

If you come to Kihei you can do lots of fun activities right here:

• golfing
• tennis
• canoing and kayaking
• windsurfing
• snorkeling and diving
• surfing and body-boarding
• swimming
• whale watching
• boating
• shopping

• Wailea Maui Real Estate

Kihei Maui is not only a travel destination, but also home to a growing population of people of all ages.

Kihei has vacation condos, residential condos, and single family homes. Are you shopping for a vacation condo... why not let a local expert help you decide?
