Ho'okipa Beach
Hana Highway, Paia, HI 96768 site: Ho'okipa Beach
#1 of 14 things to do rated by Real Travelers

More information on Ho'okipa Beach

The first sight of Ho'okipa is likely to make a visitor pull the car over and stare. From the vantage point of the highway or the parking lot, one can appreciate the spectacle: a seemingly endless expanse of deep blue water, white rock and crashing waves. This beach has been called the windsurfing capital of the world and is popular with daredevil surfers as well. However, it is not recommended that you swim here. The surf is as perilous as it is beautiful, and sharp coral reefs lurk below the waves.
