Kihei is beach-combing territory on Maui’s southwest shore, the sunniest, driest end of the island. Once a regular destination for sojourning Hawaiian royalty, Kihei features six miles of
beaches, which offer clear views of Kahoolawe,
Molokini,
Lanai and
West Maui. Along with swimming and surfing you can also find great
snorkeling and kayaking, and you may even spot a giant humpback whale spouting or breaching the ocean’s surface.
