This is a long stretch of sugary white, soft sand beach very close to the town of Paia and along the Road to Hana , not far from the airport. There can be wind and large, breaking rollers coming in from uninterrupted seas to the northeast. Hookipa Beach Park, 4 mi away, is the windsurfing capital of the world with consistently high waves for surfing and windsports. HA Baldwin Beach is usually uncrowded with lots of parking and washrooms nearby. The wide sandy beach has lots of shady trees to hide under back from the beachfront. A fun place to play in the rolling surf, boogie board or use a surfboard to ride out the waves that crash on the pristine shores all along to Secret Beach to the west. There are numerous spots where green sea turtles haul up on the hot sand to warm their cold blooded bodies. The long walk along the beach and through the shady trees is so cool and peaceful listening to the pounding surf here. Highly recommend a visit here for the peace and quiet of a not so travelled, uncrowded part of Maui. Love it here, seems so rustic and full of the natural world sights. Great place to watch sunsets as well, then walk over to Dollie's Northshore for a cold beverage and eats.

HA Baldwin Beach Park is linked to multiple beaches, you can enjoy leisurely stroll along the ocean, swim, surf. Might find green turtles resting on the beach occasionally. Good parking. Hang out place for hippies and artsy people with live drums, dances, fire on weekend at the northern tip of HA Baldwin Beach Park.

My husband and I stopped here on our way to Hana around 8:00 am. It was quiet, not crowded and the nice blue water was so beautiful and clear. The beach seems pretty big and offer nice views on the coast around. Restrooms and parking are available.

We went here on our last day in Maui. The beach looked amazing but it was very windy that day. We ended up walking to the far right where there were trees and it was more sheltered. We hung out here for a few hours before our flight home. It was a nice beach. I would definitely go again and I wish we went discovered it sooner.

Baldwin is a very windy and breezy beach; it is also beautiful and stretches onward almost forever! As you head back from shore there are lots of trees so you can always find a shady spot too. The surf is quite active so it is great for boogie boarding too. The beach is less than a mile from the town of Paia so you know you’ve always got somewhere fun to go before or afterward. While at the beach we went for a long walk to the left (when facing the water), we hear but can not confirm the nude beach may be to the right!

This beach is not far from the airport and harbor for those with short visits. It is a mile long, with swimmable areas at both ends (the seas are rough in the middle). You may well see a sea turtle or two; although there are always a lot more at the surfer beach about 5 miles further down the highway.

We stopped at Baldwin Beach before we headed to the airport to go home. This beach is very breezy but still nice. We walked the beach to enjoy the beautiful blue/green ocean water. We saw a few turtles just hanging out in the water. We plan on going back to the beach to play in the water if we ever return to Maui.

As I expected the shelling on Maui beaches is pretty poor- steep shores with high energy shorelines tend to result in broken shells. However, Baldwin beach is an exception. There is a wrack line dominated by broken coral but with shells throughout.
I parked at the main entrance parking area and walked left on the beach. Look for the jetty of rocks, a 10 to 15 minute walk from the lifeguard stand. A fewinutes before you reach the jetty the wrack line begins. Look through it for cowries and cone shells and worm shells. I found 3 very nice cowries and so many cone shells that I quit picking them up. The cone shells were concentrated at the highest portion of the wrack line whereas the cowries were more in the middle.
Happy shelling.

We opted to spend our day at the sandy cove, Baby Beach, to the west of Baldwin Beach Park. This is a sheltered lagoon where kids can enjoy the water without concern for crashing waves. The back side of the beach was protected by sand bluffs and trees, which provided nice shade. If you want avoid the long walk along Baldwin Beach (a lovely walk, but who isn't weighed down with stuff when going to the beach with young kids?), turn off of the Hana Highway at mile marker 5 and turn right at the dead end.

Came here our last day and the beach was amazing. However, too many transient people. Lots of garbage and vehicles parked there that looked like being lived out of. Head up the highway a bit further to Ho’okipa beach and hang out there.

Are the showers here outdoor rinse stations or stall showers?

We used a water hose they had near the parking lot to rinse off! Ha! There may have been showers but I didn’t see any.

Is getting an Uber at the beach easy or difficult? Looking for quick and economical transportation between the cruise terminal and Baldwin Beach Park. Thanks!

Hi all!
I have a long layover at OGG. I've heard that I can bus from the airport to this beach. Is that true? Would there be a place to shower and change near by? I've heard the town is great so I would really rather check it out with a beach than try to get a hotel day rate near the airport.
Thanks for any wisdom you have!

I can't comment on buses to the beach because they are quite limited so we've never used them. You may want to consider a car rental since you can drive to several stunning beaches in only a few minutes from the airport. Many have washrooms and showers. HA Baldwin Beach is a stunning beach that we absolutely loved, and yes, they have washrooms and showers. We spent the afternoon before our flight at this beach. I'm sure others will chime in as well. Enjoy your layover!
