Kihei

Kihei runs along south Maui's coastline for nearly ten miles, and along the way it delivers consistent sunshine, a string of beach parks, and a casual, welcoming energy that draws visitors back year after year. Kamaole Beach Parks I, II, and III anchor the southern end of town with wide, swimmable sand and good snorkeling just offshore. The restaurant and bar scene along South Kihei Road is lively and varied, with options ranging from casual fish tacos to waterfront dining worth lingering over. Molokini Crater, one of Maui's most celebrated snorkeling and diving destinations, is accessible by boat directly from Kihei's shores. Wailea's world-class golf and resort dining are just minutes to the south for those who want them. Gather's vacation rentals in Kihei offer a well-located, down-to-earth south Maui base with the beach always close at hand.
