Mokapu & Ulua Beaches


With the opening of the Andaz Maui resort, the scene has gotten busier at these two beaches, which are a few steps away from the resort. The lovely Mokapu Beach is behind the Andaz, on the northern side of a small point between the beaches. Snorkelers should head straight for Ulua Beach to the south of the point.
