H.A. Baldwin Beach Park
Pāʻia, North Shore Maui
A Long North Shore Beach With a Calm 'Baby Beach' End
H.A. Baldwin Beach Park is a county park just outside Pāʻia with a wide, long stretch of sand. The county describes the east end as 'Baby Beach', where calmer, shallower water is popular with young children. Lifeguards are stationed at the Pāʻia end of the beach; one guide lists 8 AM–4 PM daily, but sources disagree, so check with the county's Ocean Safety division. A guide notes the park has a reputation for rowdiness after dark, though it is fine in the daytime.
