My favorite beach on Maui! (also called Airport Beach) About 45 minute drive to Ka'anapali from my place. Extends north and south, but I like to hang out near the southern side called May's Beach. Its smooth, sandy bottom extends for a long way out. Can be *spectacularly* clear when the weather is right.
The park itself has parking, bathrooms and showers.
If you want to park at the southern side, there is free first-come-first-serve beach parking near the Hyatt, on the left side of Whaler's Village, near the Sheraton Maui Resort, and Ka'anapali Beach Hotel. (Paid parking at Whaler's Village as well. ) If you park in Ka'anapali, you can use the free Ka'anapali Trolley to get around - check its website for schedule.
