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.
