Ho'okipa Beach, north Maui. The constant onshore winds and wavesets generated by passing cold fronts make this one of the most popular board surfing and windsurfing beaches on Maui's windward side. When the big surf is running, the parking lot and beach-access road are clogged with parked vehicles, and the white-sand beach is standing-room only. During the winter, waves often exceed 50 feet (more than 15 meters) in height.

Down on the beachfront at Ho'okipa Beach. The elongated outcrop of basalt in the foreground acts as a natural breakwater, providing some protection against the strong surf that would otherwise scour the beach of all its white sand. It also forms some very nice tidepools for those not inclined to surf.
Ho'okipa Beach County Park is located a short distance east of Pa'ia, north Maui.
