Maui offers more than 30 miles of gorgeous beaches along its 120 miles of coastline. If you’re planning some family activities on the island, visit these kid-friendly beaches.

5 Family-Friendly Beaches on Maui

1. Baby Beach (Lahaina)

This west shore stretch of sand in Lahaina is aptly named because it’s perfect for toddlers. A large off-shore reef protects against waves, and the soft angle of the beach provides plenty of shallow water for little ones to play. You and your toddlers can walk out quite a distance without reaching water deeper than three feet.

2. Baby Beach (Baldwin Beach Park)

This baby beach is located along the north shore in Pa‘ia. It features an off-shore reef that keeps out waves, while the lagoon has tide pools where you can search for marine wildlife. Just keep in mind that there is a bit of a walk from the parking lot and bathrooms to the beach.

3. Kapalua Bay

Kapalua Bay is on the west side of the island, north of Kaanapali and the resorts of the west shore. The shallow water is perfect for little ones, with the bay offering a break from the waves. Turtles frequent this bay, so bring your snorkeling gear.

4. Maluaka Beach

This beach, just south of Wailea, will be more convenient for those staying on the south shore. However, those staying on the west shore may find the drive worth it because this beach is more secluded. You’ll have more space to spread out, with both shaded and sunny spots available. The area is popular for snorkeling and other beach activities in the shallows.

5. Sugar Beach

Also known as Kealia Beach, Sugar Beach encompasses 2.5 miles of sand in north Kihei. There is ample shade on the shoreline to keep families comfortable. The water is calm and the scenery beautiful.
