Lovely Wailea! There's something here for everyone. We saw our first Picasso Triggerfish here, actually several of them. Also seen and noted were adult Rock Mover Wrasses. There also seemed to be an abundance of green male Bird Wrasses. This is a great beach, with easy entry pretty much anywhere. The better snorkeling is to the south, around the rocky outcropping. It's a great beach for swimming, sunbathing, and just doing the beach thing. There is public parking, showers and restrooms. Public access is between the Grand Wailea and the Four Seasons.

Wailea Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches. You can lie on your towel and check out the island of Lanai in the distance, or test the waters and go snorkeling. This is also one of the best snorkeling areas. You will need to go out towards the left around the rocks for the best fish - they are not very abundant in the bay. We saw great sea turtles in this area. Watch out for the rocks! The waves will hit the rocks and you do not want to get caught in one of those waves.
