Yin and Yang Beach Destinations: Wailea/Makena Maui, Hawaii ...

Wailea Beach is a well-known Maui beach fronted by two luxury hotels, the Four Seasons and Grand Wailea. Little Beach is also a well-known Maui beach for a much different reason. It’s one of Maui’s two nude beaches. The other is Kaihalulu (Red Sand) Beach in remote Hana. You should know that public nudity is illegal in Maui, however, the law is rarely enforced at Little Beach or Kaihalulu Beach.

The physical distance between Wailea Beach and Little Beach is tiny since they’re less than 3 miles apart, or approximately a 5 minute drive.

Wailea Beach happens to be one of my personal favorite beaches. There are numerous activities and amenities available at the beach in addition to the fact that it’s simply a beautiful beach.

For more information on Wailea Beach, please read its review in Beach Reviews.

Little Beach is part of Makena State Park along with Big Beach and Naupaka Beach, also known as Black Sand Beach. Little Beach is the smallest of the 3 beaches, but because it is a nude beach it’s the most crowded since virtually everyone who wants to nude sunbathe goes there. The good news is that it attracts few gawkers and is generally a laid back place for all visitors.

To many joyful beach experiences!

I first fell in love when I was six. It happened when my family moved to a house less than half a block from a beach. From that day forward I've been drawn to the beach like a moth is drawn to a flame.
