Coastal Nature Trail

Coastal Natural Trail of Maui, Hawaii is 1.5 miles in length. Visitors can take the trail to walk around Wailea's properties, restaurants, and rocky coves. The trail was set up for walkers and joggers. Most early mornings is when joggers fill the pathway.

The makai, which is the ocean side, is filled with native plants, beach, and ocean views. Hawaiian history states that in the early morning one can look for the hinahina, which is the name given to the Hawaiian moon goddess.

The trail is not only a great place to get a short walk, but also to watch whales in the winter months. The trail can begin at Polo Beach. The trail is one of about 10 trails in Maui. Since the trail is part of the town area in Maui there are a variety of restaurants and hotels close to the trail. The trail can be taken to get from beach to beach instead of driving.

The trail is mostly for exercise and viewing the ocean from the resort beaches. It can be a nice walk for those who enjoy walking or jogging for exercise over fitness centers, which is why locals use the trail too.
