Ho'kipa Beach Park "The Windsurfing Capital of the World"

This beach is known as possibly the best place in the world for windsurfing. It is the site of two major world-class competitions. Due to the strong surf, windsurfing at this beach should be limited to the experts.

However, the beach has an 1/8 mile coral reef that makes a pond-like area perfect for taking a dip. Above the beach is an ancient Hawaiian historical ruin.

DIRECTIONS: Take Highway 36 east from Kahului Airport and just past Pa'ia. Ho'okipa Beach is located just before Mile Marker #9.
