Waihe'e Beach is a small, quiet beach park in Wailuku, on Maui's north shore. Its dark sand, rocky patches and driftwood give the shoreline a different feel from a broad sandy beach, and the waves are a draw to watch from shore. Picnic tables, restrooms and an outdoor shower make it a practical stop for lunch or a walk by the water. The entrance is beside a driving range, and the park also has cats near the entrance.
The shoreline and surf
Waihe'e is a small, narrow beach with low capacity, which helps keep it quieter than busier Maui beaches. The shore shifts between dark sand, rocks and driftwood, so it suits a walk and a look at the water more than a long stretch of sand. Large waves break along the shore, and warning signs advise against swimming.
A beach park for a break
The park has picnic tables, restrooms and an outdoor shower, along with facilities for sports and play, including a baseball field, basketball court, volleyball court, tennis court, skateboarding area, slides and swings. Cats are often around the entrance, next to the driving range. The park entrance is on Halewaiu Road in Wailuku.
