kamaole beach park 3

Between Kam 2 & 3 there is a rock peninsula. I used to snorkel there a couple times a week when I lived there. You can jump off the rocks into the water, which is fun. I've seen tons of sea turtles (between August and December at least) I've seen loads of trigger fish and goat fish, needle fish, and even an octopus. The swimming is good too. Not usually too busy

Small but scenic and very hospitable. Lots of grassy area for those that don't like sand washrooms and lots of parking.

Parking, showers & bathrooms are a plus. Large park for kikei to enjoy. Plan on spending the whole day

This beach park in Kihei is just perfect for me. My husband loves to be in the water. Me... not so much. I know... crazy. I love Hawaii, Maui and Kihei, but I'm just not a water person. So Kam III has the best to offer us both. There are lots of trees, there is lots of grass, there is a great beach and the sunsets... well... That' kind of the main attraction every evening! There are bathrooms and beach showers, sidewalks, picnic tables, park benches... It's just a beautiful park. And for those of us not in the water, there is lots of people watching! As always, in Hawaii, wear sunscreen. How long did you save for this vacation? You don't want to ruin it by having a sun burn!!! Pick up a bottle as soon as you arrive. I recommend 75spf and apply multiple times during the day! Visit Kam III in Kihei. Sit, swim, relax... You'll feel the "ahhh"!

Lifeguard station, plenty of grass, benches and tables. A favorite for birthday parties, I've seen large groups enjoying the day in the park. Clean bathroom and showers. This beach park has its own parking lot, but it fills up fast and there is no street parking in front of this beach park. The beach has a great Boardwalk stair and ramp access. It has several volcanic formations that run out into the ocean like breakwaters. The center section of beach is great for boggie boarding and playing in the surf. The other sections are great for snorkeling and if you are lucky you will spot a sea turtle around the rocks. There is plenty of areas to put your chair and umbrella to enjoy this great view area, including whale watching, bring your binoculars. The three Kamole beaches are so different and each has its own special feature. This beach also suffered erosion from the January 2015 storms, but it still is a great beach to visit or spend the day.

So it's not like the places that have chaise lounges, but the water is deliciously warm, the beach clean, the waves wonderful. I was able to do the best boogey boarding with my daughter. Bathroom on site that's better than the ones you get on public beaches in Los Angeles County. Kamaole Beach Park 1, 2, and 3 are similar and all have pretty adequate parking. Snorkeling there was obscured because there was a massive swell around the island that churned up all the water, but on a regular day should be fine.

This beach is a great beach for sunbathing, swimming, snorkelling and so much more. Located in the heart of kihei it is easy to get to by bus or your own car. Walking distance is within many condos and hotels. Clean and clear water. Great place to watch for whales and see the sunset. Good beach for young families with many amenities close by.

This was a nice little beach that we had read about to do some snorkelling however seemed like a nice beach to swim at and sit on but we eventually found other beaches such as Black Rock (although a lot busier) that had much better snorkelling

This beach is clean and beautiful. Lots of parking and you have your choice of sitting up on the grass or walk down to the sandy beach. You can watch beautiful sunsets and if you visit from December to April you are likely to see the hump back whales, I recommend bringing binoculars to get a closer view. You can swim, surf, body board, and there are a few places to snorkel. You can have a picnic up on the grassy area, dogs allowed, play volley ball or frisbee, family friendly!!

This is one of the best parks to see the sun set. Many people will come out and sit on the grass or go down to the sandy beach. During the day there are many park activities on the go and the beach is good for sun bathing and swimming.

gentle surf, and some great snorkelling as you head towards the boat launch. the water closer to the shore break get kinda murky with sand and such but as you hug the reef and swim towards the boat launch it clears up and I've seen turtles there every time I've been. Cant wait to go back, its an easy stroll from many of the south Kihei condos

The sandy beach is below a nice green park with restrooms and accessible via stairs. There was great wave action for playing and body-surfing, but waves were not as strong or threatening as at Makena Park to the south.

Great beach for families. great swimming and snorklingEasy to get to. Lifeguard onduty. Large grass area

Busy beach..enjoyed watching families on boogie boards--lots of small rocks..not much beach lost due to past storms

This is the next beach south of Kam II. It was cleaner when we visited but there were many scruffy people hanging around. Not sure I would take kids here when Big Beach is not too far away.
