Is the ocean and beach near by ?
The ocean is within walking distance however the beach to play on is best driven to
Yes - 5 min walk
Yes very
There is a small beach, not the idillic beach you'd expect just a short walk away, the locals and surf schools use it for access to the water. It is by the school and a car park so there are surf vans in the parking lot all the time, the park is Kamehameha Iki Park.
There is another small beach just north of the shops at Front Street is Baby Beach, but this is quite small.
About a 1 mile south of Lahaina is a Puamana Beach Park, whichi is busier than the other two I mentioned from what I saw, and walkable from Lahaina.
Otherwise you're looking at a drive north to a concrete modern hotel resort which have been built next to extensive beaches with lots of facilities but limited free parking.
Hey
The harbour is about 5-10min walk. There is no beach there, swimming? Not really it's a harbour, the locals do surf there.
I hope that helps.
The ocean is two blocks from Aina Nalu but no access. You can go up to Baby Beach which is about a good walk north of condo maybe less then a mile.
The ocean is nearby but if you are looking for a beach to swimat you need to go further afield, that is why it is almost essential to have access to a car
We never kind a beach to walk to, we always drove over to Kaanapali or Napili, but you are right around the corner from front street which is right by the ocean, and loaded with shops and restaurants.
