Review & FAQ:

With its large waves and strong winds, Ho'okipa Beach boasts some of the best kitesurfing and windsurfing on Maui. The conditions are best suited to surfers with plenty of experience, but many visitors come here simply to enjoy the scenery and marvel at the impressive antics of the surfers. If you'd like to do this, an excellent lookout point can be found perched on a cliff on one end of the beach. Most of the beach is not suitable for swimming, although there are several sandy areas that make for good swimming under the right conditions.
