Of all the beaches we visited throughout Maui, our Hale Mahina beach was our favorite. We snorkeled right out front and could go out about 100 yards as it was still under 6 feet deep. We had turtles everyday and saw whales almost everyday from our condo. The private beach is magical. The condo is well kept with cute beach decor. A great kitchen with what you need. We bbq’d one night in front of our patio and it was fun. I recommend bringing sound machines to help you drown out noise while you sleep though. The crashing waves at night can get super loud for the sofa sleeper and the bedroom windows face the hallway/street side and that can be noisy at times. Despite not getting the best sleep, I can’t imagine a better beach to have private access too. We can wait to come back again. Mahalo Hale Mahina.
