Kam III is the most popular of the three beaches. It is also the best for boogie-boarding, with a regular break here that can get fairly large during south swells. It is shortest and least wide of the Kama’oles, but it does have the most facilities and a gigantic grassy park area. It also has a new playground and bathroom, and plenty of parking (But weekends & holidays are very popular here – so you will probably need to park in the overflow parking lot.) Be aware that some Large rocks are found protruding from the ocean (and less so, the sand) along some pockets of Kam III. There is also a second rock-bracketed area that forms a more protected cove at the south end Kam III, the cove is called Ana’iao by old-timers. (You’ll likely be the only person there that knows that name!)

Kamaole 3

Lots of schooling fish near the rocky point on the North side.  Good for both snorkeling and diving.  There is a nice reef with several cleaning stations running SW from the rocks on the South end of the beach.  It can be a bit tricky to find unless you snorkel around to orient yourself first. Nice mini-wall with about 10' relief, 30' depth.  Lifeguards insist on the use of a dive flag.  It's a good idea because of the proximity to Kihei boat ramp.   My primary reason for diving this reef is that my condo is across the street, and I'll dive while family and visitors hang out on the beach and/or snorkel.
