Local folks will point out to visitors that just 35 years ago this sun-drenched coastline was nothing more than a forest of hardy kiawe trees and nearly inaccessible beaches. Today, it is a thriving community dedicated to family and fun, a wide array of land and water sports, and some of the best shopping and dining on the island. Almost uninterrupted sunny days make this the ideal place for beachgoing, boat cruises, snorkeling and other water activities.
On land, there are championship golf courses and world-class tennis courts. And if you just enjoy walking, there are miles of white sand beaches, as well as a paved pathway that runs along the scenic coast from the northern to the southern end of Wailea.
