Kapalua Coastal Trail
Napili / Kapalua, West Maui
A Free, Easy Coastal Walk Between Kapalua Bay and D.T. Fleming Beach
The Kapalua Coastal Trail runs north along the shoreline from Kapalua Bay Beach, across the sand dunes at Oneloa Bay, through The Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua, and ends at D.T. Fleming Beach Park. The Kapalua Resort's own page lists hours of sunrise to sunset, with access points at Kapalua Bay, the Bay Villas beach access lot, Oneloa Bay, the Ritz-Carlton, or D.T. Fleming Beach, and mentions Bay Villas beach access parking. HAWAIʻI Magazine's 2026 Readers' Choice voters ranked it No. 3 for Maui hiking trails.
The resort page gives no length or difficulty rating, so treat it as an easy beachfront walk and check conditions near the water.
