It is a great beach and the waters are clear.
The beach is a good size and spaces.

We stayed at Kaanapali Beach Hotel and we liked it. Slightly old-ish decor but the hotel is spacious and it has big lawns so it does not feel cramped. They feel strongly about the history of Hawaii.

I feel have seen Maui but if I had to go to sure place for relaxing beach, water and sun then this is a good bet.
