Many visitors who come to Maui, especially for the first time, might not explore some of the unique north shore beaches. And it’s understandable! But if you’re looking for a spot off the beaten path, want to watch expert-level surfers, or spot Hawaiian sea turtles, you might want to consider one of these local spots. If you’re an aviation geek like us, there’s even a lesser-known beach just beneath the departure end of the main OGG runway. It’s the perfect place for sun and plane spotting!
