  OVERVIEW  
     
  H.A. Baldwin Beach is a picturesque community beach park with plenty of space for ball games and swimming. In fact, it is one of the most popular beach parks on the windward side of Maui. The beach and the picnic areas are always crowded. H.A. Baldwin Beach Park's main attraction is the surf that breaks along the entire length of the park's long, sandy beach.

The shore break is usually small, but good enough for body boarders. On some days though, the waves get quite big here to be dangerous for novice swimmers and surfers. The ocean bottom drops quickly to overhead depths.

H.A. Baldwin Beach Park was a private recreation area for employees of the Hawaiian sugar industry in the past. In 1963, it became public. Today, it’s a favorite gathering spot among locals and visitors alike.

The beach park has a large grassy area with BBQ grills, picnic tables, a pavilion, restrooms and showers. There’s even a soccer and baseball field nearby. Lifeguards are stationed at the Paia end of the beach. The beach park is located between Paia Bay and Spreckelsville Beach Park.

The park is named after Harry A. Baldwin (born in 1871). He was the son of Henry P. Baldwin, who, together with Harry’s uncle, developed their first sugar plantation on Maui. Harry also became a builder himself and also a delegate to Congress and a member of the state senate.

  DIRECTIONS  
     
  Take Hana Hwy. 36 to Paia. Baldwin Beach is about a mile before you get into town on the left. Look for the sign.  
     
  PLEASE NOTE  
     
  While Hawaii's beaches can bring much enjoyment, it is always a good practice to use common sense while visiting them. Please be aware of the wave & wind conditions before going into the water. Mornings are usually best for swimming, snorkeling or diving. Have respect for the strength of the waves and be aware that high surf can come up at any time. NEVER turn your back to the ocean.

Be careful when exploring any rocky shorelines. Waves can crash on the rocks and knock you over easily, and the rocks may also be sharp when walking on them.

When snorkeling or scuba diving, please have respect for ocean life, and remember that the coral reef is alive too. Avoid standing on or touching if at all possible.
