Airport Beach
★★★★☆
(229)
Off the coast of Ka’anapali, Airport Beach is located right next to the Westin Resort Villas and is great intro and beginner shore diving. An easy 2-minute walk from the parking lot makes getting to this site a breeze. The actual dive is along a gently sloping sandy bottom going from 8 to 25 feet deep.
There are lots of turtle encounters here with the common green sea turtle and the more rare hawksbill turtle.
