Lahaina: Maui's miles of sunny south and west-facing shoreline were perfect for developing a new visitor industry. These shores are sheltered from the prevailing northeast Tradewinds; the warm sun is predictable, the waters calm, the rains infrequent, the sunsets sublime; and the outlying Islands - Moloka'i, Lana'i, and Kaho'olawe - give scenic depth to the horizon. While Kapalua Resort is rife with golf courses, tennis clubs, luxury hotels, bed & Breakfasts and Condominiums, Front Street in historic Lahaina Town still retains much of the charm of the old whaling days.
