D.T. Fleming Beach is a white stretch of sand that fronts the Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua on Maui. The bay offers swimming in the summer and surfing during winter swells. Spend the morning here, followed by a lunch at the Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua.

We love this spot because it never gets too crowded. There is plenty of shade for a nap or a picnic lunch.

The activities desk at the hotel rents snorkeling gear, kayaks and boogie boards. There is a shower so that you can rinse off the sand on your way home.

Kapalua Resort is home to two other beautiful sandy bays: the Kapalua Bay and Oneloa Bay.
