A small town with access to extensive West Maui water sports, Kāanapali is home to a less than a couple thousand people and is sustained by the local tourism industry. The town is nearly three miles of white sand beaches surrounded by shops, condominiums, and hotels. Young families make up the majority of Kāanapali condo and homeowners, while tourists visit galleries, restaurants, and bars in town's resort area. Snorkeling, deep-sea fishing, windsurfing, and scuba diving are some of the offshore activities this beachside community provides. Kāanapali's small town atmosphere mixed with the easy pace of ocean-side living creates a relaxed community for visitors and locals alike. Unmatched views along the town's coast offer pristine sites for watching whales spout and breach the Pacific during season. The town is connected to other local communities via the county bus system, creating the opportunity for adventure and exploration of the West Maui coast. The area's principal highway, Route 30, not only runs through Lāhainā on the way to Kāanapali, but it also continues on to the comfortable condominium lined village of Napili-Honokawai. |
