Hamoa Beach Vacation Paradise

The black sand of Hamoa Beach is one of the best

beaches on Maui.  The water isn't too rough, there

are no rocks in the surf, the crowds are minimal,

and the nearby scenery is amazing.  For a beach

vacation, Hamoa Beach is tough to beat.

Hamoa Beach is about a five to ten minute drive

from the town of Hana.  The drive is easy to make,

with lots of great scenery along the way.  There 

isn't a parking lot, so you'll need to park on

the side of the road and walk down the steps to 

the beach.  Parking isn't normally a problem 

because the beach is never crowded.

There is a beach hut on Hamoa Beach that rents

body boards, snorkeling equipment, and even gives

out towels to guests of the Hotel Hana Maui.

There are also beach chairs and umbrellas that

are for guests only.

Unless you are a guest and want a chair, the best

spot on Hamoa Beach is on a big towel right in

the center of the black sand.  There's plenty 

of shade on the beach, so you won't have any 

trouble getting out of the sun when you have had

your fill of it.

The water at the beach isn't rough and there are 

no rocks to cut you as you swim.  The waves here

can get quite large, although they are easier

to swim in than other beaches on the island.  

Hamoa Beach is an excellent beach vacation spot,

offering something for the entire family.  There

is always something going on here, no matter

what time of year you visit.  For a beach vacation

that never lets up - Hamoa Beach is where you

need to be.
