Watch Charley Young Beach Live

Posted on by

Curious what South Maui looks like as Tropical Storm Lala moves through? Our live beach cam is streaming 24/7 from Charley Young Beach in Kihei, with a west-facing view toward Kahoʻolawe and Molokini.

Check it out here: Live Maui Beach Cam

A quick heads-up: if the stream stalls, freezes, or looks choppy over the next few days, it’s likely just storm interference affecting the connection or visibility — not a technical issue on our end. Refresh the page if it stalls, and it should pop right back. Once the weather clears, expect the usual glassy mornings, afternoon texture, and low western sunsets.
