Maui - the Valley Isle

We just returned from another wonderful trip to Hawaii (Feb 23 - Mar 10, 2004), this trip we visited Maui and the Big Island. You can usually expect very pleasant weather for vacations no matter what time of year you go over there, we happened to pick the two weeks of cloudy and rainy days. When I say rain - it rained so hard for two days that it seemed like a solid sheet of water when you walked out the door. Outdoor restaurants were closed, whale watching, scuba, snorkel and all other boat trips were cancelled and I would imagine that the luaus were no fun if they tried to go ahead. Goes to show you need to be prepared to do things other than the beach.

Basic Beach Tips

· Check for beach information, not all beaches are suitable for all types of water fun.
· The surf in the Islands can be very powerful, be careful when entering or leaving the water, even while walking along the beach.
· Remember to beware of the many hazards near the ocean and wear sunscreen, (it is suggested that you use at least SPF 25) - sunburn has ruined many a vacation!
· Dehydration can occur at the beach also! Bring along water and drinks that will rehydrate such as Gatorade®.
· Leave all valuables at your condo or hotel, or buy one of the small water proof pockets available at the dive shops and keep it on while in the water.
· We will have pictures as well as the basic information on each beach, such as which ones have restrooms, showers picnic facilities and so forth.

We Need Your Help To Keep Maui's Beaches Beautiful
Each year 4.5 trillion cigarette butts are discarded worldwide as litter. Made of plastic (cellulose acetate), cigarette butts do not decompose.
Worse yet, the filters in cigarette butts contain toxic chemicals, which can leach into the ocean.
Marine animals sometimes mistake them for food and consume them.
Please do your part and keep cigarette butts off Maui's beaches.
For a free portable ashtray to carry your butts, call Pacific Whale Foundation at (808) 249-8811
or visit them at Ma'alaea Harbor Village (adjacent to Maui Ocean Center) or at 143 Dickenson Street, Lahaina.
