Holiday at Kaanapali Beach, Lahaina, Maui Island, Hawaii, United States

Beach Type

Kaanapali Beach is known for its beautiful powdery white sand that stretches for miles along the coast.

While some areas of the beach may have small patches of rocks or pebbles near the shore, overall the beach is predominantly soft white sand.
