Most beautiful beach I've ever been to. The water changes from turquoise to deep blue. Great place for a beach wedding.

There are some beautiful beaches in Kihei but this is my favourite to watch the sunset. If you're lucky you might spot some turtles swimming close to shore here. #lifeatexpedia #BeachTips #GreatOutdoors
Maui has many beautiful beaches, but Makena Big Beach was by far my favourite. #AquaTrove
Favorite beach of all time with trees lining the beach from behind. Water is crystal clear and the shore break makes for some fun rides. If you are up for relaxing in the sun this is the spot to do it!
