From the reviews
Was a super hard beach to find. Had to go out to beat and trail to find it. Only to find there is a walkway down to the beach between all the private communities. Park in the circle area it's public parking. Then walk down the beach through the middle of the condos I've highlighted the line in red.
A small protected beach with a short walk from the parking lot. Parking is very limited and is hard to see unless you know where it is. The beach makes for easy entry to the ocean and good snorkeling is available on both sides of the beach. I was able to swim easily to the reef off "Five Graves" from here.
This is one of the best beaches to go to in Kihei area a lot of people go to this beach we really all need to chip in and take care of this Beach there's a lot of people coming here as the Hawaiian say respect the Aina
No public restrooms, but a great hidden spot if you're looking for a small cozy beach
Getting married at Chang's Beach (aka Po'olenalena Beach)
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
