1. Explore Kamaole Beach Parks

Kihei is famous for its stunning beaches, and the Kamaole Beach Parks are a must-visit. These three unique beaches—Kamaole I, II, and III—offer a variety of experiences for beach lovers.

Kamaole I “Kam 1” is the largest and the perfect spot for a relaxing day. With soft golden sand and a large grassy area complete with a volleyball net, it’s great for swimming, though be cautious of swells during summer.

Kamaole II “Kam 2” lacks a dedicated parking lot, so find parking along South Kihei Road. It features restrooms, showers, and picnic spots in the shade.

Kamaole III “Kam 3” includes swings and a huge grassy area, making it perfect for families.

Don’t miss the Hows it eh food truck, which serves a delightful fusion of Hawaiian and Canadian flavors. Their sushi Cado, a spicy tuna mix stuffed in avocado halves, is a must-try!
