Kaanapali, Maui: The Coconut Chronicles
Ka’anapali is one of Maui’s premiere resort destinations.
Spectacular beaches, great golf, proximity to Lahaina town all set in
a beautiful backdrop with the West Maui Mountains to the east and the
Pacific and the neighbor isles looming to the west. It is little wonder
that this is a very popular locale for individuals visiting the island.
It is those same qualities that make the area a popular playground and
home for island residents.
Ka’anapali might be most famous for its beach Ka’anapali
Beach also known as Dig me beach is one of the most popular beaches on
the island. It is beautiful stretch of white sand with clear waters great
for swimming and snorkeling. There is a concrete walkway that stretches
along this expanse of beach that is great for sunset strolls. Ka’anapali
is separated from Kahekili beach to the North by Black Rock. Black rock
is a large lava rock that is renowned as a great snorkeling spot. Kahekili
is often known as north beach or airport beach. It has a number of the
same attractions as Ka’anapali beach with fewer crowds.

Ka’anapali Golf
Ka’anapali has two great championship golf courses. The Resort Course

history of Old Lahaina. The Tournament North Course is a more challenging course.
Ranging from the Shoreline to the foothills of the West Maui Mountains, the
course will challenge your putting skills and demands that you choose your clubs
wisely. Of course the scenery is spectacular with views of the Pacific, Neighbor
Isles of Lanai and Molokai and the spectacular west flank of the West Maui Mountains.
