All of Hawaii is known for its breath-taking beaches, and Maui is no exception. Kaanapali Beach, located in the Northwest region of the island, was voted “America’s Best Beach” in 2003, not only for its white sand and clear water, but for its unique cultural and geographic attractions. The beach is home to two championship golf courses, the Royal Kaanapali and the Kaanapali Kai, as well as an open air Whalers Village, shopping, restaurants, and the famous Puu Kekaa, or Black Rock cliffs.
