Hi there. I comparing the Westin Nanea to other resorts. Does anyone know what the beach is like? Calm or rough? Rocky?

Beautiful beach. Sand. Some rocks in water. No need to protect feet. Turtles and lots of fish, no need to take a snorkel cruise.

All of Ka'anapali beach is relatively calm because it is on the west side of Maui. If you want bigger waves, then go to the north side beaches or the surfing spot near the airport (east side). The beach at Nanea is beautiful sand and is well maintained to keep it free of driftwood and trash. The snorkeling is some of the best if you take it slow. Usually, a turtle or two will swim up of down the coast and occasionally a pod of dolphins will cruise by late in the day. Even if you are just sitting on the beach, the views are breathtaking, and you can catch sight of whales in the season.
