Today we headed up to Napili Beach for some different scenery. It's a short drive north from Ka'anapali. Parking is just in the neighbourhood and a short walk to a beach access path. This beach is gorgeous and I realized once I got there that I've been here every time I've visited Maui.
The surf is quite a bit rougher which was fun for the kids to boogie board. We went out for some snorkeling and saw a variety of different fish: another view of the super long named
fish which is the state fish, some different triggerfish and butterfly fish, and the reef here is more alive with different anemone.
When we were ready for lunch we decided to stop at The Gazebo, which my neighbours the Gorens told me about. It's a shack in back of a condo complex. They don't take reservations and they have an insanely good mac nut pancake. Mei, the kids and I waited in line, but Stephen wasn't interested. It took maybe 45 min to get an outside table under some big umbrellas looking out over the water. Mei and I got the combo banana and white chocolate mac nut pancakes. The kids got a club sandwich and an omelette. All of the food was really good. The pancakes though, were out of this world!
They are topped with a butterscotch and maple syrup cream and served with coconut syrup. The pancakes themselves were big and fluffy. Super delicious and totally worth the wait! Plus service was great.
We took a rest on the afternoon before heading to Whaler's Village to get on the wait list for Hula Grill. The food there is decent but service was terrific. I was full from lunch still so had half of a fish taco meal and saved the rest for tomorrow.
Of course we had to have another Hula pie! We finished dinner in time to catch the sunset, along with practically everyone else at the mall. 😎
