Day 4 in Maui - South Maui and more snorkeling

On Day 4, we went a little further up the coast to Napili Beach where they had The Gazebo, a very popular breakfast place. Sophy and I split an omelette and these White Chocolate Macadamia Nut pancakes, good stuff.

This restaurant is near Kapalua Bay, which I believe is to the right, where they supposedly have pretty good snorkeling.

After breakfast, we headed for South Maui to seek out some beaches. Sorry, I actually didn't take any pictures of the area. But it's definitely a lot more quiet than West Maui. Wailea in South Maui has the really fancy resorts like Fairmont, Four Seasons. Everything is just so grand. They also have these nice big homes on the beach, whereas West Maui has the resort areas, and the locals probably live in smaller houses or condos.

Here's a view of South Maui.

We stopped at Po'olenalena Beach, Chang's Beach, and Makena Beach. There was barely anyone on these beaches in South Maui, a big difference from Black Rock in Ka'anapali. So if you like that sort of thing, South Maui is the place for you. Snorkeling was okay, but there was definitely more fish at Black Rock. The sand at Makena Beach was also a lot finer than that in Ka'anapali.

For lunch, we left Wailea and went to Kihei where we stopped at Eskimo Candy Seafood Market and Cafe. They sell fresh fish to take home and they have various seafood dishes to eat for relatively cheap. Had the fresh Ono fish n chips, another highlight of the trip. Apparently fresh Ono is $19.99 a pound. 

After South Maui, we went back to Ka'anapali to do more snorkeling at Black Rock (just a really convenient place and lots of fish). 

For dinner, we went back to Kimo's because we got a coupon for a free Hula Pie! haha
