Information about beach parks and beaches in the town of Maalaea on the south side of the island of Maui in Hawaii.

Introduction to Maalaea's Beaches
Maalaea's beaches can be very very windy. There are no white sandy beaches at Maalaea Harbor but there is a wave break called Freight Train that is considered to be one of the fastest breaks in the world during certain times of the year. Just south of Maalaea Harbor is an area sometimes called the Maalaea Mud Flats. Most of Maalaea's condominium complexes are located in this area. It's a rocky shoreline area that is a good board-surfing and bodysurfing spot during the winter months when the waves are up.

Haycraft County Park
6.5 acre oceanfront park managed by Maui County. Activities include having picnics and swimming, but note that the park does not have a lifeguard. Facilities include two picnic tables, two barbecue grills, one outdoor shower, one water fountain, portable toilets, and a parking lot with 10 spaces. Located at the end of a road at 399 Hauoli Street in Maalaea Town.

Beach Between Maalaea and North Kihei
There is a 3 mile long beach between Maalaea and North Kihei, on a narrow strip of land that is bordered on one side by Kalia Pond and on the other side by the ocean. I think the beach here is bordered by sand dunes. I have see this beach called Maalaea Beach, Kalia Beach, and Sugar Beach.
