Description
|
|
This lovely white sand beach in Wailea is very popular with swimmers and snorkelers,
as the peaceful waters here have replaced the turbulent past this area has had. The fish
population has grown dramatically since the artificial reef was constructed, making for
a much more habitable and calmer area.
