Don’t confuse BEACHFRONT with Oceanfront. Oceanfront is simply that, in front of an Ocean- it can be on a cliff, it can be in front of rocky coastline and of course, it is breathtakingly beautiful nevertheless.
We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch – we are going back from whence we came.
But BEACHFRONT… is rare. It is where the ocean meets the land and leaves drops of residue that form a smooth sandy ground offering us a welcoming platform by which we enter the sea. Even on an Island of Maui, beachfront properties are limited.

“The island of Maui is composed of two large volcanoes separated by a low-lying isthmus. The West Maui Volcano (1.6 Ma) at an elevation of 1,764 m lies to the west of the massive Haleakalä Volcano (0.8 Ma) with a summit that reaches to 3,055 m. Maui has 193 km (120 Miles) of general coastline that wrap the two main shields and the isthmus. The isthmus was created during the shield building stage of Haleakalä as lava flowed into West Maui and, is bounded by two embayments, one to the north, and one to the south. Although the West Maui Volcano is extinct, Haleakalä is merely dormant having had its most recent rejuvenated eruption just over 200 years ago.” (University of Hawai’i, Manoa. School of Ocean, Science and Technology)
Maui has plenty of gorgeous beaches. You can read our Maui Beach Guide here. Maui’s beaches are public and for the most part many of the beaches do not have many houses built on them.
