Discover the Magic of Maui’s Beaches
Maui is famous for its extraordinary beaches, each offering its own unique allure and beauty. For couples looking for peace and solitude, Makena Beach, also known as Big Beach, offers a secluded expanse of warm sand and crystal-clear waters, perfect for lounging, swimming, and spending quality time with your partner. For an added layer of exclusivity, plan an early morning visit to Maui’s Secret Cove, a beautiful pocket of sandy shoreline close to Big Beach that’s popular for weddings due to its intimate feel. To find the secret cove from Wailea, head south on Wailea Alanui Drive until it changes to Makena Alanui Drive, and again to Makena Road. Just past the turn-off for Big Beach, keep your eyes peeled for a cobblestone wall with a small door-sized opening and a sign for beach access. Pack a picnic and enjoy some early morning peace at this tucked-away beach.
For those looking for a more lively experience, Kaanapali Beach offers a plethora of water activities like snorkeling, paddleboarding, and surfing, so you can be as adventurous as you’d like. Plus, each night, guests and locals alike are treated to the spectacular sunset cliff-diving ceremony on the cliffs of Puu Kekaa or Black Rock. Watch as a man clothed in traditional Hawaiian robes runs to light the cliffside torches before offering a lei to the ocean. After appeasing the gods with his offering, the ceremony is concluded when he dives into the ocean below. This unique ceremony is a great way to incorporate some of Hawaii’s rich culture into your honeymoon and is the perfect cap to a day on one of the world’s most beautiful beaches.
