D.T. Fleming Beach Park

Honoapiilani Hwy (north of MM 31), Kapalua, HI 96761

A half-mile of golden sand on northwest Maui at the Ritz-Carlton Kapalua, repeatedly named one of America's best beaches by Dr. Beach. Less developed than Kaanapali — body-board the shore break in summer, watch heavy winter surf detonate off the point.

Great day for a beach walk.
