Hookipa Beach Park at a Glance

Hookipa Beach Park, located on Maui’s famous Hana Highway, is world-renowned for its windsurfing and other oceansport activities. It’s one of the best beaches in the world for windsurfing and two world-class competitions take place here each year.

Visit this beach during the Aloha Classic or Red Bull contests to catch some of the best surfers in the world. Several other water sport competitions are held here annually – just check with local hotels or visitor spots for a list of calendar events.

At this popular cliff-lined beach, surfers come from all corners of the earth to ride the unique break. The waves can be sizeable and the currents challenging, so novice surfing is discouraged. Spectators can watch surfers and windsurfers from an elevated overlook point.

Hookipa Beach is complemented by the presence of a large coral reef area that tames incoming waves, so when the surf is not that strong, swimming and snorkeling are possible. In the winter months, the waves can reach heights of 15 feet and more.

The beach itself is little more than a strip of white sand behind a wide, rocky shelf. The nearshore ocean bottom is a mixture of reef and patches of sand. Because of this, the main water activities are windsurfing, surfing and fishing.

Safety Tip
Whatever beach in Hawaii you visit, please have in mind that the ocean can be very dangerous. Never turn your back against the waves and watch out for underwater currents and always check the surf conditions. Pay attention to signs posted on the beach. If you are not sure about the conditions, ask the lifeguards (if any on the beach). Please click here to read more about ocean safety in Hawaii.
