We stopped for a look late afternoon on a Saturday. It was very busy with many surfers and windsurfers as well as families in the water. The water was too rough for us novice ocean swimmers, but there was a lifeguard onsite directing people on how to get in and out of the surf. We managed to get a parking spot at the top of the cliff and after watching the surfers for several minutes, walked down to the beach. We saw a handful of sea turtles, many of them active - some coming into the beach, others timing the waves to get back into the ocean and others flipping sand on their backs to cool themselves off. It was a fun stop with lots to see that made it worthwhile.

Lovely place to watch surfers, see turtles, and maybe a monk seal hanging out. We parked in the upper parking area (pro-tip: skip that port-a-potty! Yikes). Bathroom facilities near the main beach area are heavily used but still in decent shape. Lots of kiddos and families in the tide pools, but beyond that this is not a swimming beach unless you are a strong/prepared swimmer/surfer. Lovely for beach strolls and people watching too.

Holy TURTLES!!! We thought we were lucky to see so many turtles when we were snorkelling on the other side of the island in Kihei, but when we walked down to this beach I counted 80, yes 8-0 turtles laying on the beach! It was incredible. Really cool to see many bathing in the sun, and others heading out to the ocean, while others were coming in to dry off and sun bathe. Really memorable. Bonus is that you can also watch some awesome surfing at the same time! I could’ve stayed and watched this beach for hours 😁 Highly recommend!!

This place was suggested to us by a Maui Aquarium docent, when we asked for a good place to see turtles in their natural habitat. Located about 10 minutes from the airport, the perfect place to stop when you have some time before check-in. Turtles, turtles, turtles, surfers, surfers, surfers, and the most beautiful coastline. So glad we there!

People living on the island including staff at our hotel described this as "must see" if you'd like to see giant turtles, some of them 1000+ years old. They were right! The area were the turtles climb onto and rest on the beach is roped off and fortunately at least when we were there, people respected this. The turtles are incredible. LOTS of people know about this and the parking lot isn't huge, so you may have to walk 5-10 minutes. But that's ok. This is a free, 5 star attraction. We had 11 year old grandchildren who were fascinated. This is one of those rare free attractions that that is great for people of any age.

We arrived around 3:30 or so and stayed for an hour sitting on a beach blanket and watching the gorgeous waves and surfboarders. I was hoping to see 40-60 turtles. There were way more than that! Turtles covered an area of the beach. I stopped counting around 50 and I hadn't even counted 1/2 of them yet.

Was really looking forward to seeing the Giant Green turtles. It was truely wonderful. The beach was beautiful, nice bathroom, nice covered picnic area. The lifeguard was interactive with people educating them about the living reef and where they should go to enter the water without damaging. The were alot of signed due to the waves size that can be dangerous for swimmers. Great place to watch the surfers and the kite boarding.

THE.TURLES.WERE.AMAZING. When one of the ladies in our group wanted to stop to see the turtles, we were so surprised to see how many there were. This was a treat for us! It was also very nice to see the surfers in the water. Cool location.

Amazing sea turtles. There we about 50 sea turtles basking on the beach. Easy parking and short paved walk to where you can see the turtles. There are signs saying to not pass a certain area. People were not following the sign and were to close to the turtles.

We stopped here on our first night to watch the sunset and it was amazing. Parking was easy and there were lots of families with little kids wading in the water. The waves were lapping softly and the night turned beautiful golds to blues to purples. It was the perfect way to start off our vacation. Several days later we stopped here on our road to Hana and the whole beach was speckled with TURTLES! We had thought they were rocks! It was fun to watch the surfers as well. Great beach with lots of activity.
