Just a short walk away north on S. Kihei Road is Kihei Village, where you will find shopping and the many different restaurants including Coconut's Fish Cafe, Café Ole, and Mexican Grill. Also, don't forget the wonderful shopping at 'The Shops at Wailea', just 5 minutes away. For the golfers, the golfing at Wailea's Gold, Emerald and Blue courses offer great golfing and fantastic ocean views.
Kamaole Sands offers many on-site activities, walking distance to restaurants and shopping. Located right across from Kamaole Beach III with it's sandy beach and clean clear water, makes snorkeling, swimming and sun bathing ideal. Enjoy the evening walks on the beach to witness the most amazing sunsets. There is a beach trail takes you up to North Kihei and south to Wailea-Makena.
When you walk out onto the rocky area between Kamaole II and Kamaole III beach parks, you will almost always see turtles! Early morning is a great time to see them feeding.
