Snorkeling at Ulua beach

A great time to sit at the beach a look out and watch the whales. They are so active at this time of year. I was at Ulua beach in Wailea today. Ulua beach is a beautiful crescent shaped white sand beach. This beach is great for snorkeling off the shore and the dive shops do introductory dives here as well. I really enjoy snorkeling on my days off. During times of high surf or strong currents, it can be a little “murky” or “stirred up” but it is still fun. I like Ulua beach because there is also a big tree that hangs over the beach and provides shade if you want it. The best time to go to the beach on Maui is in the morning. Usually the wind is calm in the morning and tends to pick up more in the afternoon. The north end of Ulua beach is the good end for snorkeling, but if conditions are right the middle and south end are great for boogie boarding. Always be careful at the beach on Maui as the waves can be unpredictable and can knock you down. “Never turn you back on the Ocean” is a good rule of thumb.
