D.T. Fleming Beach - Maui, Hawaii Beaches

Fronting The Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua, D.T. Fleming Beach is a long white sand beach that is perfect for running and sunning. Winter swells make this a popular location for boogie boarding and surfing. A variety of beach activities and equipment are available.

 

Oneloa Bay

Nestled between the Bay Villas and Ironwoods, Oneloa Bay is a favorite for locals seeking its secluded setting and fast-breaking winter surf. For those not desiring to get wet, the Kapalua Coastal Trail runs along the beach’s sand dunes.

Honolua and Mokule'ia Bays

Honolua Bay and the adjoining Mokule`ia Bay are located just north of Kapalua Resort. Since 1978, the area has been protected by the State of Hawaii as Marine Conservation Districts. The late Colin C. Cameron, Kapalua Resort’s founder, is credited with ensuring that the unique ocean resources at these locations remained protected.

Fishing is strictly prohibited. Beneath the waves, submerged gardens of coral house an abundance of marine life. Honolua Bay is an excellent location for summer snorkeling.
