How to Use This Wailea, Hawaii Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Wailea, Hawaii. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Hawaii or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Wailea.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Wailea presents a sun-drenched shoreline where the rhythmic pulse of the Pacific Ocean meets the warm, volcanic earth. It lies 11.5 miles north-northwest of Hilo, HI (from Hilo, HI: bearing 348°T), and is situated 3.8 miles north-northwest of Pepeekeo. The Ka‘ahakini Stream carves a quiet path toward the tide, its presence a subtle reminder of the water that shapes this terrain. Beyond the immediate coast, the jagged silhouette of Mauna Kea looms on the distant horizon, anchoring the sky while the State Department of Land State Resource Management Area preserves the integrity of the land. The air here carries the faint, sweet perfume of plumeria, and the light at dusk settles over the water in hues of bruised plum and gold, turning the surf into a shimmering expanse that feels both ancient and immediate.

Wailea exists as a space where the echoes of past agricultural industry—the memory of sugarcane and pineapple—have transitioned into a modern economy defined by stewardship and hospitality. This sense of kuleana, or responsibility, guides the way the landscape is managed, ensuring that the development remains in harmony with the natural beauty of the coast. While the rugged allure of the Hilo Forest Reserve remains miles away and the waters of Waihonu Pond sit deep in the interior, the local character remains firmly rooted in its coastal identity. Life in Wailea moves with the tides, a steady and deliberate pace that honors the deep connection between the people and the island, reflecting a quiet pride in a place that demands both appreciation and care.
