Paia sits near the most accessible coastlines on Maui’s North Shore. Paia is a surf town and much of it’s contemporary character derives from it’s nearness to Hookipa Beach, which is world famous for its ideal windsurfing conditions. Hookipa Beach Park provides the perfect perch for watching the surf-riders. There are 5 distinct surf breaks and frequent world-class competitions for board and sail athletes.
Paia has roots that go back to the 1800s when Alexander and Baldwin created their first sugar mill here. The sugar company literally built the town by creating “camps” for its workers. These worker’s came from all over the world and their decendants make up the maui ethnic majority of our island population. In Paia’s heyday ten thousand people lived right here – one fifth of Maui’s population. In those days Paia included a hospital, movie theaters, dry-good stores, small hotels and a railroad depot. Much of the old Paia is gone but it still looks like horse and buggy traffic would fit in. The sugar mill closed in 2000 after 120 years in operation but still sits a mile above the town in Upper Paia on Baldwin Avenue.
