Little Beach, Maui
Little Beach (see more photos) is the only unofficial clothing optional beach on Maui. It’s located right next to Big Beach in Makena. At only one-eights of a mile long, Little Beach is one of the most crowded beaches on Maui. So if you ever thought about trying nude sunbathing, this is the place to go. (Public nudity is illegal in Hawaii, but very little enforcement of this law is done at this beach, and many people who sunbathe on Little Beach do so without clothes. But if you want to keep your swimsuit on, it is ok too.)
Little Beach is situated in a secluded cove between lava rocks. It is also known as Puu Olai Beach, named after the lava outcropping over which you’ll have to hike to get to the beach. Little Beach is a great swimming beach with a shallow sandy bottom. There’s almost always a gentle shorebreak present that attracts bodyboarders and surfers. On calm days, the snorkeling conditions are excellent.
The views are also very nice here. The neighbor island of Kahoolawe is visible on the horizon, as is the smaller island of Molokini, a world-class snorkel and diving destination. There is a trail right behind Little Beach where you can have a nice beach stroll.
