Sections of H.A. Baldwin Park in Pā’ia will close in phases from late July through September for dune restoration work led by UH Sea Grant and county partners. Beach access is maintained overall, but visitors should expect restricted areas and follow posted signage.
- Phased partial closures run July 27 through mid-September, with a final phase scheduled after bird-nesting season in November.
- Work includes removing invasive and hazardous vegetation, clearing debris, and planting native species to restore dune systems and reduce coastal erosion.
- Cultural and archaeological monitoring will be conducted throughout the project under a state-approved plan reviewed by the Office of Hawaiian Affairs.
- The project is a multiagency effort funded by a National Fish and Wildlife Foundation grant, with no excavation proposed to limit environmental impact.
- Guests visiting the North Shore should be advised to check the project website for updated maps and closure details before heading to Baldwin Beach.
