Windward shores (the North Shore and East Maui) offer more adeventurous beachgoing. Beaches face the open ocean (rather than other islands) and tend to be rockier and more prone to powerful swells. This is particularly true in winter, when the legendary North Shore becomes a playground for experienced big-wave riders. Don't let this keep you away completely, however, some of the island's best beaches are those remote slivers of volcanic sand found on the wild windward shore.

"Big Beach" they call it -- a huge stretch of heavenly golden sand without a house or hotel in sight.

Slaughterhouse (Mokuleia) Beach

Destination: Maui
Article Source: Fodor's
The island's northernmost beach is part of the Honolua-Mokuleia Marine Life Conservation District. "Slaughterhouse" is the surfers' nickname for what is officially Mokuleia. When the weather permits, this is a great place for bodysurfing and sunbathing. Concrete steps and a green railing help you get down the sheer cliff to the sand. Read More
South Shore Maui Beaches

Destination: Maui

Sandy beach fronts nearly the entire southern coastline of Maui, from Kihei at the northern end to Makena at the southern tip. Kihei has excellent beach parks right in town, with white sand, showers, restrooms, picnic tables, and BBQs. As good as Kihei is, Wailea is even better.
