Olowalu Beach

Explore the Coral Reefs of Maui

Nestled at the base of Olowalu Valley, Maui's Olowalu Beach stands out as one of the island's premier snorkeling sites. This expansive stretch of golden sand, adjacent to Olowalu Village, has gained fame for its underwater wonders. Beyond snorkeling, it also provides a serene spot for leisurely moments, especially for families with young children looking to wade in the gentle waters.

While navigating the maze-like path to the outer reef, it's crucial to preserve the delicate coral heads, avoiding any damage. Optimal snorkeling conditions at Olowalu coincide with high tide, enhancing the underwater experience. The beach, though narrow in some sections and proximate to the road, widens considerably in front of Camp Olowalu.

For those seeking relaxation, park near the northern end of the beach, while snorkelers should opt for parking closer to the 14-mile marker. As with all Maui beaches, mornings are ideal, and be cautious of kiawe thorns in the sand if you choose to stroll barefoot. Immerse yourself in the natural beauty and aquatic wonders of Olowalu Beach for a memorable Maui coastal experience.
