Kamaole Beach Park III
You'll spot this beach by the families clustered under ironwood trees, their coolers planted in grass that runs right to the sand. The shore break builds predictably—gentle enough for boogie boards, spirited enough to feel like Maui—while the southern rocky outcrop shelters snorkelers in waist-deep water.

Questions people actually ask about Kamaole Beach Park III.
Is Kamaole Beach Park III safe for swimming and snorkeling?
Kamaole Beach Park III is generally safe for swimming and suitable for families, with calmer waters than neighboring Kamaole beaches. The north end offers better snorkeling around rocky areas where you might spot sea turtles and tropical fish. However, conditions vary seasonally—winter months can bring higher surf and stronger currents. Always check daily conditions, watch for warning flags, and avoid the water during high surf advisories. The beach has lifeguards, making it safer than many South Maui beaches. Morning hours typically offer the calmest conditions.
What is the best time to visit Kamaole Beach Park III?
Kamaole Beach Park III is enjoyable year-round, with Kihei averaging 276 sunny days annually. For the calmest ocean conditions, visit during summer months (May-September) when trade winds are lighter and seas are calmer. Winter (December-March) brings occasional high surf but also whale watching opportunities offshore. Mornings offer the best weather before afternoon winds pick up around 11am-1pm. Weekdays are less crowded than weekends when locals visit. Arrive early (before 9am) to secure parking and enjoy cooler temperatures, especially during summer.
