NAPILI

Napili, gateway to Kapalua, is located just 9 miles north of Lahaina. Napili has a lot to offer. When you arrive in Napili on the main highway you’ll find Napili Plaza, which is host to a diverse selection of shops, restaurants and services. Napili Plaza also offers a crafts fair every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday from 9am to 4pm. Be sure to drop in and experience this unique plaza.

If you are looking for a great beach for snorkeling, scuba diving, or just basking in the sun, Napili Bay is for you. Napili Bay is protected from big waves most of the year. The water is calm for safe activities — perfect for children and those unfamiliar with the ocean. The U-shaped Napili Bay offers rock and reef viewing and is abundant with sea life. This beach is known to be frequented by skim boarders — the steep start to the beach makes for excellent take-off into the surf. The Napili coastline also has some excellent surf spots. The surf is usually larger in the winter.

Napili is also popular with walking and jogging enthusiasts. This is the place to start a great walking experience into Kapalua. You can start near the lower road or the highway and walk the Napili-Kapalua loop. On your walk you will find beautiful luxury homes, plant life and flowers, large Norfolk pines, golf holes, etc... most of the loop even offers sidewalks.
