📸 Kamaole Beach Park III | Kihei, Maui, Hawaii
📝 My Story:
If you’re looking for an easygoing beach day in Maui, Kamaole Beach Park III (often just called "Kam III") is the perfect spot.
Leza and I loved this beach because it had everything you could want — soft sand, calm waters (perfect for swimming or wading), shaded grassy areas for picnics, and an unbeatable sunset view.
What stood out most was the laid-back, family-friendly atmosphere. You’ll find a good mix of locals and visitors here, tossing frisbees, snorkeling near the rocks, or just relaxing with a book under a palm tree.
We stayed long enough to watch the sun melt into the ocean, painting the sky in gold and purple hues — a perfect Maui memory.
