“Our” Beach

View the live beach cam!
This live beach cam is only 1.4 miles down the beach from our condo and "our" beach-Charles Young beach.

The gentle waves lapping on Charlie Young's Beach beckons you for a short stroll down to the sea to swim and sun bath on what has been called the best beach on Maui. Charlie Young Beach is on the North end Kamaole Beach I.

After a short walk down to the ocean you'll find warm clear water to snorkel in where crabs, turtles and tropical fish await your discovery. Then enjoy lunch at one of the many restaurants like Maui Tacos or KKO Restaurant across the street from the beach.  The weather in Kihei is almost always sunny with a nice breeze to cool you off. You will find golf, surfing, wind surfing, body boarding, and great shopping and dining just a stone's throw away.

It is worth noting that you can't take great beaches for granted on Maui. Many are silty, cloudy, or rocky-and many are pounded by waves too large for safe family swimming. That's why it is wonderful that we are located within 100 yards of the Charlie Young Beach. In their book Maui Revealed, authors Andrew Doughty and Harriet Friedman call the Charlie Young Beach one of the very best beaches on Maui!

Kihei's central location means that everything is just a short drive away, whether it's the tropical paradise that is Hana, with its rugged coastline and spectacular waterfalls or the tourist attractions and shopping in Lahaina. Of course, Kihei itself offers so many great food and fresh fish stores, great shopping, and great entertainment options that you may never feel the urge to stray. In all, Kihei gives its visitors an ideal combination of relaxed island life and all the benefits of "civilization."

Kihei offers easy access to eight sandy beaches where you can swim, boogie board, surf, and snorkel. There's also fantastic ocean kayaking, and whale watching (in season), and Kihei has some of the best wind surfing beaches in Hawaii
