Waves at the Beach
Originally uploaded by webnelly
Interesting enough, not as crowded and popular as Kapalua Beach is, just a litte further north on Hwy 30 you’ll find the D.T. Fleming Beach Park. You might miss the turn if you’re not looking for it (we did), but once you find it, you have practically the entire beach to yourself.
The first thing we noticed when we went was that it was rather windy. I’m not entirely sure if it was because it was slightly overcast or if that’s just the normal for this area. In any case, it’s a nice stretch of sand and great for enjoying the sun (like my wife) and just walking along the shore taking photos (like me). We’re not sure if this beach is actually larger than Kapalua or just felt that way because there was hardly anyone there. It was still nice and quiet and offered some great time to relax.

And, DT Flemming Beach was named “Best Beach in America” in 2006.
Kind of makes you wonder why more people don’t know about it, doesn’t it.
We stayed on Kaanapali Beach Feb.2007. Discovered Flemming Beach while out driving, loved it all! Your site is great, brings it all back. Maui truely is paradise.
Aloha, Beth. I’m glad you like the site and thanks for taking the time to add a comment.
I hope you make it back to Maui very soon.
