Ho'okipa Lookout - Scenic spot in Paia - , USA

This is one of the most scenic look out in Maui. The ocean views are fantastic from here you can stay for hours. No reservations needed no entry pay, parking is decent. You can surfers surfing on big giant waves of 12-14 foot tall. It’s an amazing feeling to see the greenery, blues waves and blue sky it feels like dream land. Definitely recommended place in Maui.

At the early morning start of our road trip to Hana this was a good photo spot to watch the surfers negotiate aggressive waves. Couple dozen in the water giving a great show of skill.

This is always a great spot to admire God's beauty. I always see turtles down below, and up here at the lookout, you can watch surfers and kite surfers shred. This year, I didn't see any vendors, but a few years ago, they were selling handmade hats and jewelry. Don't be that person who hops over the protective fence for your selfie... and respect the turtles and land.

Amazing spot to watch the action on Ho'okipa Beach! This beautiful windward beach is famous for its perfect swells and surfers of all kinds (shortboard, longboard, kite, and wind)! A must-stop on the famous road to Hana!

A must stop lookout area to take the most beautiful scenic view of the mountains and oceans. Great for watching surfers.

It's Vista with cool eyes. Explore the area and stop by Hookipa Beach below to enjoy the ocean with the turtles on the beach. You won't regret it. It's a really cool place. You can walk into any beach left or right around here and you'll be in the ocean in no time.

Stopped here to catch some spectacular views and it did not disappoint. I went here during the middle of the week around midday and parking was almost at capacity. So be aware of that. To get the best views you do have to traverse a rough path and step on some rocks. If you can see do that along with seeing the waves crash you can feel the sea spray. As usual for Hawaii, there are a number of wild fowl milling about, even saw one catch a mouse. Very interesting.

This is the place to watch the surfers when the swell is good, don’t forget to stop down at the beach to see the sea turtles sunning themselves every afternoon.
