Hana HI Beaches & Beach Vacations - Plan a Beach Party!

Does your Hana, Hawaiian Beach Holiday include hopes for breath-taking scenery along a legendary 52 mile stretch of highway?  If so, the HI-360 stretch between Hana and Kahului is your best bet on Maui.  Hana Travel Guides highlight Hana Beach Park for your first stop for a secluded bay, perfect for families with young children and unskilled swimmers.  Hana Attractions include the famous black sand beaches (leftover eroded lava) and outrigger canoeists practicing in the Bay.  Our favorite Hana adventure was a challenging hike to the isolated Kaihalulu Red Sand Beach.  After a strenuous walk along slippery paths of pine-needles, we were thrilled with the spectacular contrast of blue ocean waters, green ironwoods, and the signature red sands.  Nude sun-bathing is permitted at Kaihalulu, so the area might not be appropriate for families and children.

Suitable for everyone, your Hana Hawaii Vacation won’t be complete without stopping at Haleakala National Park.  Families, kids, teens, adults, and even romantic couples love the unique wildlife experience—more endangered species than any National Park in the nation!  With 24,719 acres of protected wilderness, hikers and campers should reserve at least two or three days to explore Haleakala.  Don’t forget the Seven Sacred Pools at Ocheo Gulch along the Pipiwai Trail, the favorite day-hike for waterfall hunters on Maui.
