The Jaws surf spot, also known as Pe'ahi, is located on the north shore of the Hawaiian island of Maui, USA. Specifically, it lies between mile markers 13 and 14 along the Hana Highway (Route 36), near Hahana Road, about three miles east of the town of Pāʻia. The break is situated just off the coast at the base of the north shore cliffs, with no nearby beaches, and is best viewed from the Pe'ahi Overlook atop 100-150 foot ocean cliffs

. Jaws is famous for its gigantic, powerful waves, which can reach heights of 60 feet or more during the winter months (December to February), when large north swells hit the area. The unique underwater reef formations funnel the swell energy to create these monster waves, making Jaws one of the most renowned big wave surfing spots in the world

. Access to the spot requires parking along the Hana Highway and then walking about 1.5 miles to the cliffs overlooking the break. Surfing Jaws typically involves tow-in surfing using jet skis due to the speed and size of the waves, which are too fast and large to paddle into
