Views of Kaho\u2019olawe, Molokini, Lana\u2019i and the sights (and sounds) of whales are common in winter.<\/p>\n<p>When the ocean is calm, snorkeling is very good around the rocky outcroppings that define both ends of the beach. Boogie boarding and body surfing are also fun in the typically regularly formed, small waves and gentle slope.<\/p>\n<p>Wailea means \u201cthe water of Lea\u201d, the goddess of canoe makers. Prior to resort development, this beach was called Kahamanini, and the name Wailea referred only to the rocky point defining the south end of this beach. Original Hawaiian place names often reveal deeper insight to locations, and this is no exception \u2013 the name Kahamanini means \u201cplace of the surgeon fish.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Four Seasons and the Grand Wailea resorts sit like jewel-encrusted Maltese-Falcon bookends smack on either end of this beach. So, unless you show up at the crack of dawn, the beach will be crowded with people, beach chairs and cabanas.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Source mauiguidebook.com<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/stainlesspublishing.com\/stainlesspublishing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DJI_0070-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stainlesspublishing.com\/stainlesspublishing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DJI_0070-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/stainlesspublishing.com\/stainlesspublishing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DJI_0070-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stainlesspublishing.com\/stainlesspublishing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DJI_0070-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stainlesspublishing.com\/stainlesspublishing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DJI_0070-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/stainlesspublishing.com\/stainlesspublishing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DJI_0070-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Wailea Beach, Maui<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wailea Beach is unquestionably a study in beach perfection, and if you don\u2019t mind a resort vibe (and a crowd to go with it) this<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":394,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-templates\/template-portfolio.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-106","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
