Kalepolepo Beach Park, Kihei

Come see turtles here! The beach is secluded and turtles come to hang out on the rocks and nearby beach. The water is shallow, great for kids to play, and you can walk up close to rocks to see turtles. All free, no need to pay for a tour or anything, just walk up and see big turtles hanging out by the rocks. Especially if you come in the evening when it gets dark, one night we counted over 40 of them. Just make sure to keep your distance and not bother them.

Maui Fish Pond is great for the little ones. Pro Tip- arrive early, 5:30am or so to see the march of the Maui Sea Turtles. Do not get too close. They are protected and you can get major fines and in big trouble for going near them. There are also volunteers who check on them throughout the day. So, don't even try it. Go for sunset, stay for the twilight hour. Usually better than the sunset itself (check the photos for proof).
