Maui Day 1: “The Dumps” + Wailea

The very first thing I wanted to do in Maui was snorkel! I absolutely love being in the ocean, and I love seeing ocean life whenever I can.

So on our first morning we hit up a spot the locals call “the Dumps.”

The Dumps is a lava rock beach on the southern tip of the island. And it is teeming with amazing ocean life. I brought my GoPro and caught some of what we saw while we snorkeled.

The wind really picked up as it got later – I even started to get motion sick – so we left around lunch. We got some amazing fish tacos on the way out, and then headed for Wailea.

Wailea is a very chill beach. It was also very hot. We hung out for a bit, letting the kids play in the water, but we didn’t last long.

My daughter could play in the waves all day

Finally we stopped at the Maui Brewing company on the way home. The kids are an early dinner and we had some drinks and appetizers. It was a super chill spot that we all liked a lot.

That evening we hung out on the property where we are staying. It’s so incredibly beautiful here. I really can’t believe our luck. (Being here at all, and the fact that we’re still testing negative.)

    Delighted no Covid and no man o war on beach/in water. (Hoping it stays that way!)
    Sounds like a perfect end of summer trip for all of you!
