Maui Beaches:
West Side:
D.T. Fleming Beach Park
This beautiful, secluded beach park in the northwest corner of Maui offers lush, shady grounds and great facilities, however
conditions here are more erratic due to its exposure to prevailing weather. When it is calm, take advantage of great swimming and
snorkeling (head for the rocky points to the north and south), but if the surf is up, a boogie board may be more appropriate (if you are
experienced.) The steep sloping beach drops off quickly in the water and strong currents can be present even in calm conditions. Be
cautious and feel free to check in with local lifeguards who are on patrol seven days a week. Weather changes quickly this far north,
so if it is drizzling when you arrive, do not dismay. The sun could be shining in a few short minutes!
Kapalua Bay
A small, protected bay on the north end of Maui’s west side, the beach here features calm water, white sand, and two reefs to
explore. Its gently lolling surf break makes it especially kid friendly. Snorkelers will want to explore the rocky outcroppings at the top
and bottom of the bay. A chorus line of swaying palm trees will mesmerize those left ashore. There is a small beach parking lot, and
public bathrooms and showers are available, but there is no lifeguard on duty.
Kahekili Beach Park
Kahekili is a long, broad, sandy beach with a nicely maintained park featuring great facilities: ample parking, public restrooms,
showers, picnic pavilion, and barbecues. The water here is generally calm, however, since it is on the windward side of Puu Kekaa
(Black Rock) it can get windy, especially in the afternoon. Do watch for posted warnings, there are no lifeguards on duty at this beach
park. After a short swim, snorkelers will find great areas to explore in the stretches of reef that parallel to the shore. Or, with a longer
swim, they can explore the backside of Black Rock. Access beach park from Puukolii Road in North Kaanapali.
Kaanapali Beach at Puu Kekaa (Black Rock)
There’s a reason some of Maui’s most well known resorts are situated on Kaanapali Beach-it’s a gorgeous 3-mile stretch of white
sand perfection. Set up camp near Puu Kekaa (Black Rock) and it offers the full package: great snorkeling, sunbathing, swimming
and a scene-to-be-seen (after all, this area is colloquially known as “Dig Me Beach.”) Puu Kekaa (Black Rock) is a prominent
outcropping with mature coral colonies and ocean life. The adventurous can swim along its wall out to the tip and around to its deeper
backside. Those more comfortable on land will enjoy lots to see as well; this popular beach is always abuzz with hard-bodies, surfers
and skim boarders, and activities galore. Small beach access parking lots up and down Kaanapali Parkway offer free parking (the
one near the Sheraton is closest to Black Rock) or park at Whaler’s Village (3 hours free with validation). There are plenty of
showers, restrooms, and restaurants available along the beach. Occasionally an ocean swell will create a larger shore break, so look
for warning signs, as there are no lifeguards on duty.
South Side:
Kamaole Beach Parks I, II, and III
Situated on the bustling strip of South Kihei Road, three adjoining bays separated by rocky outcroppings front the beach parks known
as Kamaole I, II, and III. More protected from prevailing weather than the west side beaches, these generally boast calm water and
gentle surf breaks. The beaches are smaller and usually quite busy, but keen-eyed lifeguards, ample parking, and clean facilities
(bathrooms and showers) are a big attraction for residents and visitors alike. As are the parks’ volleyball courts and grassy picnic
areas. Snorkelers will want to beeline for the rocky tips of each bay to find interesting areas to explore. If the water is murky at first,
swim out past the shore break and it should clear quickly.
Ulua & Mokapu Beaches
The Wailea shoreline is dotted with charming sandy beaches separated by lava rock points, which is exactly the case with these two
beaches: Mokapu and Ulua. It doesn’t matter which side you are on, the best snorkeling is at the point in between. Usually protected
from the wind, both offer calm, clear water, in addition to standard facilities: bathrooms and showers. The public beach access
parking lots are small, so arrive early to get a spot. Even though there are no lifeguards on duty, the conditions here are almost
always family-friendly.
Polo Beach
Further south, Polo Beach offers a snapshot of five-star Wailea scenery: crystal clear blue water, waves that gently lap the shore,
and signature craggy lava outcroppings framing each bay. Usually this beach is very calm, making for very good visibility in the
water and conditions especially appropriate for young children. The Fairmont Kea Lani Maui runs along the shoreline, but there is a
generous public parking lot and beach access to the south on Kaukahi Road. There are clean restrooms and showers, but no
lifeguards. The best snorkeling here is on the north end, along the rocky point. Watch for the resident Hawaiian sailing canoe to
breeze in and out throughout the day.
Maluaka Beach
Past Wailea is Makena, with its slightly more rustic coastline. Maluaka is a small gently sloping sandy beach that dips into Makena
Bay. Bordered by Makena Beach & Golf Resort (formerly the Maui Prince), and framed by the majestic silhouette of Puu Olai to the
south, this beach is usually much less crowded than other resort areas. Public parking lots are available at both ends of the beach,
however the south end offers a grassy bluff with picnic tables, restrooms and showers. Snorkelers can just meander offshore to
explore the many coral heads dotting the ocean floor. Rich with marine life, this area has affectionately been dubbed “Turtle Town.”
There are no lifeguards, so do keep a close eye on ocean conditions. Be mindful of rock hazards when entering and exiting the ocean,
and of seasonal high surf and strong currents.
Oneloa Beach at Makena State Park
Given that oneloa translates to “long stretch of sand”, it is easy to understand why this spot became known as “Big Beach.” It is
debatable whether there is a more breathtaking beach in the world; a long, broad white sandy shoreline, turquoise waters, and
peaceful feeling of undeveloped wilderness make it a hands-down favorite for residents and visitors. But that beauty belies a power
to be reckoned with: its steep slope creates a forceful shore break. On calm days, snorkelers should hit the clear water around the
lava point at the base of Puu Olai, the volcanic cider cone that frames Oneloa to the north. On days when the surf is up, sit back and
enjoy the derring-do of experienced skim and body boarders. Highly trained lifeguards are on duty daily. Two gated lots offer plenty of
parking, but beyond a few portable toilets, you are roughing it. Keep an eye out for park hours or risk getting locked in for the night.

Program Description
In 1980, Congress enacted the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, authorizing assistance to eligible households to
offset the rising costs of home energy. The U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services administers the program nationally, and
distributes Federal monies among state and other grantees according to an allocation formula. Each grantee uniquely structures its
own program following Federal guidelines. Hawaii households may apply for help with either their shut-off or regular heating bill, from
either the electric or gas company on their island. Applications are accepted during the month of June. If eligible, households receive
a one-time credit deposited directly into their utility accounts. Assistance to alleviate shut-off is immediate, however, the utility
company must verify the amount needed to restore service; maximum shut-off credit is $100. Help with regular heating bills is
distributed in the latter part of the year, pro-rated among the total number of applicants statewide, and varied by factors such as
household size, household income, region, etc. The Hawaii Department of Human Services administers LIHEAP statewide, and
utilizes local community action agencies on each island to process applications for the department.
General Program Requirements
In order to qualify for this benefit program, you must be a resident of the State of Hawaii and must submit your original, current bill
from the electric company or The Gas Company and proof that you reside at the service address on the bill. The entire energy
household must be included in the application. Annual income limits are subject to change. For FFY 2009 the limits are $18,690 for
one person; $25,140 if two people live in the household; $31,590 if three people live in the household; $38,040 if four people live in the
household; $44,490 if five people live in the household; $50,940 if six people live in the household; $57,390 if seven people live in the
household; $63,840 if eight people live in the household; and $70,290 if more than eight people live in the household. For larger
households, add $6,450 for each additional person in the home.
