Big Beach (Makena Beach) Photos

Big Beach, Maui
As its name implies, Big Beach (see more photos), located on Maui’s south shore, really has plenty of sand for everyone. At almost two-thirds of a mile (1 km) long and more than 100 yards (90 m) wide, it’s one of the most popular beaches on the island. Its official name is Makena Beach, but the name Big Beach describes this beach better.
Big Beach is well-equipped with everything you need for a fun day on the beach – picnic tables, shady areas, portable toilets, hiking trails, paved parking and good conditions for all kinds of watersports, such as bodyboarding, swimming and snorkeling.
To the right of Big Beach lies a smaller beach, known as Little Beach. Here you can try out nude sunbathing and swimming because it’s one of the few beaches on Maui where some people go nude (even though public nudity is not allowed by law anywhere in Hawaii).
