Wailea
A paved mile of oceanfront past the resorts between Ulua and Polo Beach — the South Maui postcard. Pedestrian only: park and walk. Humpbacks from the path in winter.
No booking, free. Park at a public beach-access lot (Ulua/Mokapu or Polo Beach) and walk; the path links the resort beaches.
Any time; hot and shadeless at midday.
