In a nutshell: Small beach set inside a cove; fairly good snorkeling.
Minuses: The Kahana Sunset has virtually claimed the beach as their own.
Sound-bite: “Excuse me sir, but I believe this is our private beach.”
QUICK SUMMARY:
No beaches on Maui are private – public access is guaranteed for all. That said, this beach appears to have been swallowed by the Kahana Sunset, and they market their condo rentals in such a way that even many guests believe it is private. Feel free to educate them otherwise.
Situated in a protected cove. Pretty good snorkeling, sometimes visibility may be cloudy. Turtles frequent Keonenui Bay.

Your review is biased. Kahana Sunset put in public beach access and certainly all beaches are public. What is not allowed is use of the Kahana Sunset grounds which is reserved for guests.
