Waiehu Beach Park

"Sunday, May 31, 2020 was too gorgeous of a day to stay inside. I felt like taking a stroll on a beach but wanted to stay on "my side" of the island, which is how my spouse and I ended up here. THE BEACH: Unless you searched the area on Google maps or golfed at the Waiehu Municipal Course, you'd never knew this place existed. Located within the Leisure Estates subdivision of Waiehu, it's a sliver of a beach separated into two sections by a natural formation of eroded coastline. The south end is a mix of sand, river rocks and driftwood. Hop over the jetty to the north side and you'll find all soft sand that abuts to the Waiehu Golf Course property. A few deteriorated cement support columns can be found here making me think there used to be a pier or dock here. Shade is almost non-existent so bring an umbrella. The ocean was calm and swimmable on this particular day but can be rough and choppy especially when north swells roll in. Views of Maui's north shore, Mount Haleakala and the West Maui Mountains behind you can't be beat! As far as facilities go, there was one picnic table that I saw and nothing else. PARKING: The tiny lot at the south end can fit maybe 3 cars but there's lots of shoulder parking on both sides of Lower Waiehu Beach Road along with a much larger parking lot at the north end. TIP: The combination of being located at a dead end road, along with a big parking lot can turn the place shady especially at night, so be careful. Thankfully no homeless folks were in the area during the day. OVERALL: No sunsets, no restrooms, no tourists, all beach."

"Pretty views, picnic table, try to go when it isn't that windy."

"Nice quiet beach with a cute wood swing to sit on and relax. The beach is mostly rocks and stones so there's not much room for sunbathing"

"One of the beautifulest places I watched the sunrise at. The swing was my highlight. We also had the opportunity to watch some surfers. The beach is a bit rocky so if you wanna go in be careful. But the sound of the rocks clicking together with every wave makes the place even more beautiful. :)"

"Very small beach, near my house, where I go just to sit and enjoy the ocean waves. This clears my head and helps me to relax. It's mostly rocky, very little sandy beach, there are shade trees though. No bathrooms, just a porto poddy near the golf course. Lots of people come to Waiehu beach to walk their dogs or for walking exercise. Some guys will fish, with a net or pole, and there are at times surfers and bougie boarders. Always great to watch these guys, they make it looks so easy. Strong waves and Rocky coral so not advised to go to for kids as there are No lifeguards. No BBQ pits, there is one picnic table. Waiehu beach is located next to a residential area. It's a beautiful place to sit and think though, just enjoy the beautiful day and relax, Chill out. Never really crowded, unless they're a playing softball at the diamond nearby."
