What could generally be considered the first of the truly beautiful South Maui Beaches as you work your way south from North Kihei is Kamaole Beach Park #1 which is the first of the triad of beaches known as Kamaole Beach Parks #1,#2 and #3. This is the part of the southern coastline of Maui that starts to have the exotic and beautiful white sand beaches that Kihei and further south Wailea and Makena are famous for. Kamaole 1 is a beautiful white sand crescent that stretches one-third of a mile from one point to the other. Snorkeling is really only good here at the points of the beach but the white sand bottom in the middle makes an ideal place to swim.
