Also known as the "Secret Beach", Maui's (not quite) best kept secret is an incredibly picturesque spot popular for a romantic stroll or for couples seeking something extra special in their holiday memories. One of the top spots for proposals and wedding photography alike, but you won't need to be celebrating anything to really enjoy the scenery here. Peak wedding season can be expected between June and August.
The cove itself is rather small and rapidly losing its "secret" title as locals and visitors to Maui can be expected throughout the day. Despite the increase in popularity, facilities and nearby services such as food and drink are not readily available. This might be the top spot on Maui for a sunset photo, regardless how many people do or don't know about it!
Planning your trip
If you're visiting Maui as part of a cruise, remember that the beach here is a fair distance south from the cruise port at Kahului.
We're not sure Makena Cove features on any official tour, so you've got to plan your own way to Makena Beach and then walk the added distance south on the road, looking out for the hidden entrance. Exciting!
When you should go
As the cove is westward-facing, you'll find that it gets busier as the sun sets. Likewise, the cove's mystique and beauty has started attracting a larger volume of brides & grooms-to-be taking in a photo session on the sands. Arrive as early as you can to enjoy the most seclusions.
