If you’re looking for standard-height beach chairs (approximately 17” or higher) in the Kaanapali or Lahaina area, there are a few options for both rentals and purchases. Most of the commonly available low-profile “low rider” chairs are sold and rented widely, but there are local vendors and stores that cater to standard-height preferences.

Beach chair rental options:

  • Kaanapali Beach Rentals: Several vendors along Kaanapali Beach offer standard-height chairs and umbrellas. Ask specifically for “tall chairs” or “standard chairs” when reserving. Many vendors allow reservations online or by phone for guaranteed availability.
  • West Maui Watersports: Located near Whalers Village, they offer chair rentals, including standard-height options suitable for easier access and comfort.
  • Lahaina Beach Services: Several small operators along Front Street provide standard-height chairs for daily rental. Calling ahead is recommended to ensure they have the taller models.

Places to purchase portable bag-style standard chairs:

  • Whalers Village Shops: Some beach supply stores sell portable, foldable bag chairs in standard heights. Check stores like ABC Stores or specialty surf/beach shops.
  • Costco Maui (Kahului or Kihei): Offers a variety of portable beach chairs, including higher-seat models, that can easily be carried in a bag.
  • Big Box Retailers: Walmart (Kahului) carries beach chairs in standard height that are portable and suitable for travel to Kaanapali or Lahaina.

Tips for choosing and renting:

  • Specify “standard height” or provide the measurement (~17–20”) to avoid receiving low-profile chairs.
  • Reserve in advance if visiting during peak season, as the taller chairs are less common.
  • Consider purchasing a portable chair if you plan multiple beach days; it can be easier than relying on rentals.

Summary:

  • Standard-height rental chairs are available along Kaanapali and Lahaina beaches, especially through local vendors and beach service providers.
  • For portable bag-style chairs, stores at Whalers Village, Costco, and Walmart provide good options.
  • Advance reservation and specifying chair height is recommended for rentals to ensure availability and comfort.
