Kahului and airport area

Kahului is the most city-like location in Maui with shopping centers, super markets, Costo, K-Mart and a little bit of everything else. Quite a few cultural activities take place here as well and it is the home of Maui Community College. A little known beach is right next to the airport, that I call "tin can" beach because of the trash that can accumulate on the Eastern undeveloped part near downtown Kahului, but the West end near the airport is quite nice, and a popular wind surfing area. It's real name is Kanaha Beach, and to get to it, maybe take a dip while waiting for your plane, just go the opposite way from the Rental Car area on Kaa Street than you normally would to get to Kahului, and it's just at the end to the right. Next door is Wailuku, the historical seat of government for Maui at one time, and is still where you find most of the government services offices, including the DMV. It's a funky old place, seemingly not sure if it wants to grow or be left alone... See the Detailed Map page for specifics of what's there.
