Lahaina has a lot to offer its residents and visitors. Not only is it considered to be a Maui hotspot featuring restaurants, art galleries, and shopping, but it is also rich with history and has beautiful beaches. Its harbor is also a popular point of attraction for many, and Front Street has been called one of the “Top Ten Greatest Streets” in the country. And if these things weren’t enough to pique your interest in this area and make you consider buying Lahaina luxury condos, there are numerous outdoor recreational activities as well.

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that one way to explore the outdoors is by hitting the beach. But don’t think this limits you strictly to sunbathing or going for a swim. If you’ve never been snorkeling, hitting the beach is one way to cross it off your bucket list. Snorkeling will allow you to not only be able to see and discover some of the natural aquatic life that belongs to Lahaina but also provides the perfect opportunity to cool down.

If snorkeling doesn’t interest you, you could consider surfing. Whether a novice or an expert, one of the best parts of owning Lahaina real estate is that the beaches provide the perfect place to practice your skills.

If you are looking for an outdoor activity that allows you to stay in the center of it all, you are in luck. Lahaina has an oceanfront retail street. This means that you don’t need a car to get around, especially if you are in search of a restaurant, shopping, or an art gallery. And given the amount of entertainment that can be found in this part of Lahaina, its walkability adds to this town’s charm.

 

Not only can you enjoy a leisurely stroll, taking in the assorted sights and sounds of this beautiful town, but you can also visit the Banyan Tree. This tree is not only considered a landmark but the biggest Banyan Tree in the country. So not only can you come here to cool down after a day of exploring Front Street, but if you are lucky, you may be able to spot crafts hanging from the tree branches and artists sharing their work. This usually occurs every second and fourth weekend of the month and is known as Art in the Park.

 

Just a short walk away from the Banyan Tree is the Lahaina Harbor. This harbor is considered the primary harbor of West Maui and is part of the reason that Lahaina was historically a whaling village.

Outside of being able to walk around this area and see all the different boats, you can also go on a variety of excursions. Whether you are interested in getting on a boat to go whale watching, snorkeling, paddle boating, or if you’re intrigued by the idea of hitching a ride on a submarine for an underwater adventure, the options are endless. And if you’d prefer a dinner cruise, you’ll get an opportunity to see all of the Lahaina real estate along the coast while enjoying great food. And what better way is there to see the beauty of the Lahaina coast.
