Baby Beaches on Maui

Maui has an abundance of beaches. Each has their own set of qualities and unique appeal. From Kaanapali’s sprawling award winning beach that attracts mass crowds, to the sea turtle covered Hookipa beach, everyone will find a beach that works for them on Maui!

Among the wide variety of beaches include those perfect for babies and young toddlers. Here is a list of the top beaches on Maui that are perfectly suited for you and your youngsters.

Launiupoko Beach

Launiupoko Beach, located off the Honoapiilani Hwy on the way from Maalaea to Lahaina, this beach attracts a wide variety of people, from locals to tourists, surfers to sunbathers, and particularly parents with their young children. At Launiupoko, there is a part of the beach that is sheltered from the incoming waves but still allows a small amount of water to flow in and out of the cove. This allows for perfect baby playtime in warm, protected water!

Baby Beach, Paia

As the name itself tells, Baby Beach is the perfect spot to take your little ones for some fun in the sun. Much larger than other sheltered beaches, Baby Beach is the ultimate spot to let your children splash around in the warm, still waters protected from the current by a large straight line of reef.

More Kid-Friendly Activities

Looking for other activities to do with your little ones that don’t include the beach? Check out these two family-fun options.

Twin Falls

Twin Falls is a popular waterfall location that is suitable for families. The hike is short and the first waterfall can be accessed by foot. The second waterfall is accessed by a short swim into the fresh-water waterfall.

Families with young children can easily see the first waterfall and if your young children are good swimmers, you can get to the second waterfall, as the water is very calm.

Strollers are not conducive due to rough footing; otherwise, the pathway is relatively flat and easy!

Twin Falls is located about 30 minutes from the Kahului airport at mile marker 2.1 off of the famous Hana Highway (before the extremely winding part begins, making it hassle free for families with young children).

A parking lot is also available for your convenience.
