The beaches of Maui


The beaches of Maui


With its relaxed atmosphere and warm hospitality, Maui was the perfect holiday for my family, I wanted to escape the hustle and bustle of life in California. We were in the town of Lahaina, the hottest city around Hawaii. In fact, you only get an average of 7 inches of rain per year. One would expect in Hawaii reflects the relaxed attitude in cities sleeping, but Lahaina was a hive of activity. Lots of places to eat and shop, and many things to do.

While there are many activities and tourist traps in Maui, we spent most of our time in the water. The island is home to hundreds of beaches, including the famous black sand beach on Wai'anapanapa Park, on the road to Hana. This beach offers snorkeling, and you can swim at Black Rock, Molokini (an extinct volcano now filled with coral and fish) and the city of turtle. There is also a living coral reef covering submerged Molokini. The ocean is full of marine life, including fish of the State of Hawaii Humuhumunukunukuapua'a. Be alert while in the water, suddenly, you may discover that you swim with sea turtles.

In addition to being in the water, there are many opportunities to be on top of it. Sport fishing offers tourists the opportunity to fish for tuna and mahi mahi, and some fish weighing up to 100 pounds!

Surf lessons are also available, and Hawaii waves for everyone, from beginners to Laird Hamilton. The surf was very soft and the water temperature selected was absolutely perfect, so that even the pleasant backdrop.

Whether you choose to visit places of tourist arrivals or stay back on the beaches, Maui is a wonderful place full of wildlife, relaxation and opportunity.
