Where purchase beach chairs in Kihei
Aloha: The obvious answer is Walmart Kahului, but I'd prefer to check in, have lunch, hit the beach, instead of going straight to Walmart (assuming all of our luggage fit into the trunk).
Maybe Boss Frogs?
Mahalo.
In Kihei, there are several convenient options for purchasing beach chairs besides heading straight to Walmart in Kahului. Depending on whether you want a quick stop, a small local store, or a place to grab lunch nearby, you have a few choices.
Local Retail Options
- Boss Frog’s Kihei: A popular surf and beach shop located in the Piilani Village shopping area. They usually carry a variety of beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, and other beach gear. The location is convenient for popping in, shopping, and then heading to the nearby beach for a quick lunch or snack.
- ABC Stores: Several locations along South Kihei Road and near the beaches carry basic beach chairs and accessories. Selection may be smaller than a dedicated surf shop, but convenient if you want a quick stop.
- Local surf shops: Shops like Maui Beach Supply or Kihei Surf Shop may carry affordable beach chairs and related gear. They can be less crowded than larger chain stores and sometimes offer helpful local recommendations.
Other Options if Willing to Drive Slightly
- Target or Walmart in Kahului: Larger selection and often cheaper prices. This is ideal if you need multiple chairs or more specialized gear, but requires a short drive (about 25–30 minutes from Kihei).
- Costco in Kahului: If you have a membership, Costco often sells sets of beach chairs at a good value, but again this is a short drive away from Kihei.
Tips
- Check if the store has beach chairs in stock by calling ahead, especially during peak tourist season.
- Many local shops also offer rentals, so if you only need the chairs for a day or two, consider renting instead of buying.
- If you’re combining shopping with lunch, Boss Frog’s area and nearby cafes or food trucks provide a convenient stop before hitting the beach.
In summary, for convenience and a pleasant outing, Boss Frog’s in Kihei is a strong choice. For a larger selection and possibly lower prices, a short drive to Kahului for Walmart, Target, or Costco is best.
