If you have always loved the waters, then Kihei is
the perfect place for you. The town is literally composed of beaches lined up one after the other and are
considered as the town's most desirable attraction.
The Sugar Beach is perhaps Kihei's top beach
attraction. Stretching several miles west from North Kihei up to the Maalaea Wharf, it is the longest beach
in Maui where one can have an unobstructed view of the majestic Pacific and West Maui Mountains as well as
the fabulous tropical sunsets. Tourists can also get to watch from the beach through a private balcony
(lanai in Hawaiian) Hawaiian Humpback whales as they return to the warm waters of the Maalaea Bay.
However, beaches are not the only exciting feature that Kihei has to offer. Shopping malls of varying sizes
abound in the area with Azeka Place located in the center of the
town as the largest, housing more than 50 shops and restaurants. Another commercial center, the Piilani Village
Shopping Center, stands on a 150,000 square feet of land and home to several prominent retail stores like
Safeway, Hilo Hattie, Outback Steakhouse, and Blockbuster video store.
For nature lovers, there is
the Kealia Pond, a national Wildlife
Conservation District where endangered species of Hawaiian stilts and coots are protected, dwelling in salt-water
marsh. Visitors can take a peek at this endemic though endangered animals as the pond is quite visible from the road.
