Known affectionately as Kam I, II and III, Maui’s three Kama‘ole beaches are set in a row along Maui’s southwest shore. Kam III is the perfect beach for families because of its picnic-friendly park, opportunity to snorkel amid sea turtles and easy access to facilities (e.g. bathrooms, playground, etc.). There are also plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. The sunsets at this beach are spectacular, but if you enjoy snorkeling, then morning is the ideal time to explore the marine life.
