D. T. Fleming Beach Park
D. T. Fleming Beach Park
West Maui, Honoapiilani Highway just past the Ritz-Carlton
Named America’s Best Beach in 2006, this beautiful white sand beach offers plenty of room for sunbathing. Swimming is great throughout the year, though in the winter months the surf can be a bit high. Rip currents can occur at any time so check the sign at the lifeguard station and obey posted flags. Behind the beach are plenty of shade trees, a grassy area and picnic facilities.

This one is my favorite in Maui! It’s just so beautiful! The Ritz-Calrton had a beach grill on the beach that served good (but expensive) lunches. I assume they still do after the renovation. Sigh…I need to get out there and check it out.
We were there last year as well, might go back next week. What surprised us the most was how empty it was. There were only about a dozen other couples or families there, and that was around 11am. It was rather windy, though.
Compare that to the smaller, more crowded Kapalua beach nearby, D.T. is an R&R dream come true.
Sheila, You just got back! I think you need to get to those HAA meetings you mentioned elsewhere.
