Wailea gives you a variety of options for the best snorkeling on Maui. Whether you take an excursion or venture yourself, you’ll find that Wailea offers snorkeling for all skill levels. Maluaka Bay, also known locally as Turtle Town, is a white sand beach that is known for its calm waters. The beach does not have a lifeguard on duty, but there are picnic tables, grassy areas too, a paved parking lot and restrooms. The beach is located on Maui’s South Shore at the end of Makena Road, south of Wailea. Find the south part of the beach for the coral reef alongside the rocks. The slope makes it a bit easier to find your comfort level in the water and you’ll soon discover turtles, fish, eels, crustaceans and maybe even an octopus or two.
