If you are at the Kea Lani snorkle off to the right just past the point and you will see large turtles, lots of fish, octopus, eels and coral. Great sailing canoe can be chartered through Hawaiian Sailing Canoe with Sage. He will take you offshore to some great snorkeling spots and sail you along the coastline of Wailea. Fun... More

I like this one. Follow the signs and you'll get there. It gets a bit cluttered from debris from plants, but the water is free of rocks, and you don't have to worry about a lot of people. Nice, quiet, and out of the way.

Great swimming and snorkel beach. There are huge turtles & beautiful fish. You can walk out pretty far and it is also kid friendly. You can rent kayaks or paddle boards.There are chaises & towels, and they even bring you umbrellas, cold water & pineapple.

Not as quiet as Wailea or Ulua beach but very nice. We went paddle boarding off this beach and it was fairly busy in the water with other paddle boarders, snorkelers.

Nestled between the Fairmont and private homes, Polo Beach is a great place to come with the family to play. There is public access, with showers and adequate parking too.

Polo Beach was a very nice beach to boogie board at. Our family enjoyed the sand but since we had snorkelling in mind Polo did not meet our needs. It is a bit crowded and parking is not as easy as Ulua. Still, the view is great and there are restrooms and showers available.

We heard about this beach walking path and decided to try it out there is lots of free parking with washrooms nearby. The path is paved very level and easy walking very picturesque lovely for a night time stroll to watch the sun go down.
