Hamoa Beach, Maui, Hawaii
Dr. Beach's 7th pick for "Best Beaches in America" 2008 is another beautiful spot in Hawaii.
Hamoa Beach is on the east side of Maui near Hana, a less-developed part of this popular island. Hamoa Beach has sea cliffs and lush vegetation; the publc beach shares some facilities with the Hotel Hana Maui. Offshore is a little island with coconut trees.
Hamoa Bay is not the most family-friendly place to swim: big surf and strong currents can be dangerous, and the beach isn't lifeguarded. Summer and early fall are the safest times of year.
