played here, nor are Polo shirts sold! Polo Beach
came from: Ke One o Polo (the Sands of Polo), and
earlier was part of an Ulupalakua horse ranch.
History:
Polo Beach
and its frothy shore break are
crowned by the gentle dome of distant Kahoolawe.
This strand was considered part of Wailea Beach
by old-timers and never was given a Hawaiian
name. Horses and cattle sauntered down the
mountain from Ulupalakua Ranch to drink from the
natural spring that emerged from the sand near
the rocks. The animals were often seen pawing in
the sand for the spring water on calm, low-tide
days. It was called "Dead Horse Beach" during the
ranching days. That wasn't a flattering name for
such a lovely beach and, when the construction of
the Wailea resort began, the name "Ke One o
Polo" (the Sands of Polo) was
given to it. The name also appeared in the
pamphlet "Ke Alaloa o Maui."
Long-time residents knew it as Ferkany
Beach. In 1950 Judge Cable Wirtz, who
owned several acres of land adjoining the strand,
sold part of it to Dr. Joseph Ferkany. There were
two beach houses on it with peaked roofs that
became landmarks to fishermen passing offshore in
their boats. The fishermen started calling the
area Ferkany Beach. In 1959, the doctor changed
his name from Ferkany to Andrews. It didn't make
any difference. The area was still Ferkany Beach
until the resort changed the name.
Golf, tennis,
restaurants, shopping, sightseeing, snorkeling,
surfing and other ocean sports are all on
site or nearby with to do for kids.
Polo Beach is a sandy beach with sandy
ocean bottom. The Wailea - Makena area is located
in the south west side of Maui - The Valley Isle
- in the islands of Hawaii.
