LAVA Lifestyle Cō's video: Best Beach in Maui Hawaii - Makena : Ep 01

For those who know me well you know I love Hawaii, especially the Island of Maui, it has the best beach in Hawaii. It is by far my favorite Hawaiian Island. Yes, I know, all of the Islands are very beautiful and they each have their own unique flavor but there is just something about Maui that speaks to my soul. I can’t really explain it. I’ve been visiting Maui Hawaii since 1998 and it’s by far my favorite Island in Hawaii. There is a special feeling in Maui that is unlike any other Island. No offense Oahu, Kauai, Molokai, and Big Island. But Maui has my heart. My favorite Hawaiian island, Maui On this recent trip to Hawaii we were only there for four days and two of those days were rained out. We arrived around 2:00pm and rented a car in Kahului then made a routine stop at Walmart for provisions. We then proceeded to the Kaanapali area and grabbed a mixed plate at L&L BBQ. Endless buckets of rain One thing to remember when making your travel plans to Hawaii is that all these tropical plants and trees are green and lush because it rains a lot. In fact, if you look at the weather in Maui on your mobile phone app, you will more than likely see that the forecast will show rain every day. Don’t be alarmed! This is normal. And it will more than likely rain every day. But these rain storms usually only last an hour or two. This was actually my first trip to Hawaii where it rained for 2 days straight. In fact, the temperature dropped down into the low 60s. Which is rare for the Islands. And even more rain in Maui Undeterred, we ventured out and enjoyed as much as we could despite the rain. The jungle trail at Honolua Bay was particularly fun in the rain with all the lush green plants and trees. We were also able to enjoy the sites and shops in Lahaina Town which is nice when it’s sunny but still fun during the rain. It’s important to keep your plans flexible when visiting Maui Hawaii as you will probably want to work around the weather. Our first sunny warm maui beach day So after two days of constant rain, the clouds parted and the rain stopped. We couldn’t wait to get our swimsuits on and head to the beach. Of all the beaches I have visited in my lifetime, Makena is my favorite. Why? The sand is a beautiful unique color and texture and the water is turquoise blue. It’s clean and beautiful and generally warm and free of bugs and flies. It is the best beach in Maui Hawaii. Be sure to heed the warnings of the lifeguards. The shore breaks here can literally break your neck. The waves will usually chill out early in the morning and late in the afternoon. If you feel adventurous, you can hike over to Little Beach but beware, it is often populated with clothing optional beach goers and “maui wowie” smokers. So if that’s the kind of thing you are into, knock yourself out! Also, be sure to take a walk to the south end of Makena Beach (big beach) where the sand meets the exposed black lava rock. Great photo ops at sunset! You will see why Makena Beach is the best beach in Maui Hawaii. Top 10 things to see and do on the west side of Maui Makena Beach Old Lahaina Luau Whale Watching Tour Honolua Bay Kaanapali Beach Haleakala Crater Sunrise Kayaking at Turtle Town Lava Fields Nakalele Blowhole Olowalu Reef Snorkeling * Bonus Secret Spot: If you want to see some great untouched reef and tropical fish, drive to southwest side of the Island to Ahihi Bay area of Ahihi-Kinau Natural Area Reserve. You can walk along a shore for about half a mile to the end of the trail where you can literally see the coral reef and dozens of fish before you even enter the water. Be smart and swim with a partner and keep an eye out for big fish. Stay close to the shore. WWW: https://lavalifestyle.co SHOP: https://etsy.com/shop/lavalifestyleco : Lava Lifestyle Co.
