It's located within walking distance from luxury resorts like the Four Seasons and Grand Wailea. It's also minutes away from The Shops at Wailea shopping mall. It's a popular spot in a busy area so there are lots of people but the water is very blue. They have complimentary parking in the lot nearby and also have public restrooms. If you're lucky you might be able to spot sea turtles in the water.

5/10/26 We were here for a Mother's Day family BBQ. First time at this beach in all the years…read moreI've visited Maui. Never knew it was here and it is indeed a hidden gem. It's located at the end of Hauoli Street at Maalaea Bay and not in Wailuku so if you're GPS is sending you to Wailuku, turn around and head in the other direction. Fortunately, my family knew where the beach was. It's small but cozy beach but you can walk along the sandy coastline all the way down to the boats & ocean center at Maalaea Bay or in the other direction toward Kihei. I read that it is a 3-mile stretch. The beach is pretty sandy and it was very windy the day we went and the waves were decent sized. Several kids were in the water. There is a rock ledge a little bit out so just need to be careful of that. This park has a few picnic tables, outside shower, and a small parking lot for about 10 cars, one of them for ADA access. Come early because the lot fills quickly. We didn't get there until almost 10 but we had the one last spot. Street parking is available. No bathroom facilities but there are 2 porta potties at the entrance to the parking lot. They really weren't bad if you have to go. Toilet paper did not run out (and we were there all day), and it didn't reek like porta pottys normally do. Be sure to bring your hand sanitizer. The beach has no lifeguard on duty. It's also not a very crowded beach. There is a rock ledge to the left of the beach that goes out a bit where people go fishing and there were some that were just shoreline fishing. There are several trees that you can pitch your tent and set up chairs. Once you get set up, you'll enjoy the spectacular view of Haleakala, the south end of Maui where Wailea and Makena beach are, Molokini, Kahoolawe, and boats coming in and out of the bay. A beach where you can totally chill and unwind.

We are so glad we listened. As with most beaches in Hawai'i, parking can be a bit crazy, but we were lucky enough to find a spot nearby. From there, you walk down a set of steps that lead into a small alcove-like beach area, and it is absolutely gorgeous. The weather that day was perfect, and the waves were ideal for boogie boarding, which we ended up doing and had a great time. There isn't a lot of shade, so I definitely recommend bringing an umbrella. There are signs leading to the beach reminding visitors to be respectful of the land and the energy, and you can truly feel a special, almost magical presence the moment you step onto the sand. This is one of the most beautiful beaches I've ever been to. I honestly wished we had stayed overnight in Hāna so we could spend more time enjoying it. It almost saddens me to write this review because it feels like such a special, somewhat hidden beach that isn't overly crowded yet. If I ever make it back to Hāna, I would absolutely return to Hamoa Beach.

I literally pulled off the side as it was starting to get dark and let him know he had 30 minutes to play. I didn't really know quite what to expect when we got there. I was able to find street parking and then stairs leading down to the beach. When we walked down, we were in awe of the magic we had found. Huge blue waves like something out of a movie. We had the best time jumping waves together, enjoying the water and the gorgeous ocean scenery. The beach wasn't crowded at all for us and just a few families and surfers hanging out. Once we got splattered in the water and full of sand, we were able to rinse off in the outdoor shower and get back on our way. Would definitely come back to this heaven.
