Cruising To Maui Island

Sometimes you can bypass the headland between Kam III and Kam II, and just cross at the water’s edge. For about half of each month, the tide will be low enough in the early morning for that trip around the headland over lava rocks and sand—you will definitely need slippers. How will you know whether you can walk around on the beach or need to go up onto the headland? If the tide is low enough to let you get easily onto the first lava rock at the north end of Kam III, then it will let you get around the rest of the headland.

Kam II, the middle beach, is longer than Kam III and usually narrower. The sand will often be steep in the winter, tossed up by storms and tides. After a very heavy storm, enough sand may be washed out to sea to leave very little beach at high tide.

At the north end of Kam II, climb up the rock and concrete trail to the grass in front of two ocean-front resorts. Although signs block entrance to the resorts, state law prohibits the closing of beach access anywhere in the islands, and you are legally welcome to walk along the grass at the edge of the water.

This grassy area between Kam II and Kam I is one of the best places on Maui for finding turtles. Stop for a bit and watch close to the rocks at the base of the cliff, and you’re likely to see a curious head popping up looking back at you. At the north end of the headland, another trail takes you down to Kam I.

Kam I is twice as long as Kam II—a perfect sandy crescent about half a mile long. At the north end, there are usually some early morning swimmers; at some times of the year there can be a sharp drop-off at high tide.

At a brisk pace, it takes about twenty minutes to walk from Kamaole Sands to the north end of Kam I. If you started early enough, you’ll be back at Kamaole Sands, or wherever you’re staying, before the sun gets high and hot. If it’s later in the day, take your time and go for a swim whenever you want to cool off.

More walking awaits you as you head south from Kamaole Sands. From Kam III there’s a trail that mostly follows the water and goes as far as the resorts of Wailea. This walk can take two hours and involves a short stretch of road-walking; “slippers” are definitely required. Walk to Wailea, swim, have lunch there, and walk back—a lovely way to spend a day on Maui. My favorite thing about staying at Kamaole Sands is the pleasure of beach walking, right from the front door of my condo.

If walking is not your thing consider a cruise.
