13 Best Beaches in Maui, From Quiet Coves to Surfing Strongholds | Condé Nast Traveler
"Though it's a short pocket of sand at the Hana end of Maui, I find Hamoa Beach undeniably beautiful—backed by a thick forest of Hala trees, with a wide, golden shore and brilliant aquamarine water—but I caution visitors that it isn't protected by outlying reefs so the surf can be powerful, making it best to wade in the shallows or enjoy the view from shore; note that the Hana-Maui Resort by Hyatt offers daily shuttles beginning at 11 a.m." - Kat Chen
