Maalaea Small Boat Harbor

  • Address: Off Honoapiilani Hwy., Rte. 30, Maalaea, HI | Map It

Fodor's Review:

With only 89 slips and so many good reasons to take people out on the water, this active little harbor needs to be expanded. The Army Corps of Engineers has a plan to do so, but harbor users are fighting it -- particularly the surfers, who say the plan would destroy their surf breaks. In fact, the surf here is world-renowned. The elusive spot to the left of the harbor called "freight train" rarely breaks, but when it does, it's said to be the fastest anywhere.
