Endless white sand beaches with swaying palms and crystal clear waters are part of the Maui dream and the reason visitors flock to this tropical isle from around the world. While some of Maui’s beaches are best for long walks and sunsets, others are ideal for trying out the island’s many watersports. Be sure to do your research before you head to the beach so you can find one that will be a perfect fit for you.
Surfers and windsurfers flock to Ho’okipa Beach Park for some of the best waves on the Maui coastline. A popular watersport event site, The Aloha Classic and Red Bull surfing competitions are held here, as well as events held by the Maui Sports Foundation. With sizeable waves and strong rip currents at Ho’okipa, this is certainly not a spot for beginners. At Ho’okipa, surfing is better left to those who are advanced in the sport and familiar with the area. However, beachgoers who aren’t pro surfers can enjoy front row seats to highly skilled athletes taking on the waves.
The conditions here are rarely good for swimmers, but when they are, some protected waters near the pavilions can be a good place to start. Children will also enjoy exploring the shallow tidepools that form along the beach. Just beyond the shoreline reef, green sea turtles can often be spotted swimming along in the shallow waters.
Planning Your Excursion to the Hawaiian Beach Parks
Ho’okipa Beach Park is located on Maui’s north shore at mile 9 on Hana Highway, along the famed Road to Hana route. Multiple parking lots, public restrooms, and showers make this beach convenient and easily accessible. This is one of the best Hawaiian beach parks!
