We got tipped off by a local that on Sunday late afternoon and into the evening, there is a hippie happening, with some nudity, drums and fire dancing. Sounded like fun, especially to our Coachella going early 20's daughters. So, we walked through Big Beach, to climb up to Little Beach. We brought some beer and a picnic. The people... More

This was our first time at a nude beach.We can't say enough about our experience.Now every year will make our way back.The beach is beautiful,the people friendly.Nice not to see alot of people fretting and playing with their swim suits.Just content people comfortable with themselves.Big,small,excentric,you name it,you find it all here,but......a great experience overall.Can't wait to come back again,and again.

Great spot for hangin' with the naturists, particularly during the week when it's quieter. Our first experience was on Sunday afternoon, and was fine once we had staked out our spot until three local dudes invaded our space and initiated a power struggle for our spot that we just didn't feel like fighting, so we decided we were done. Unwashed... More

Okay not all the people are as beautiful as the beach. The people there are great mix of everything the island has to offer. There will be something to distract you from the book you brought to read. There was more nudity than I was expecting, but I adjusted and didn't feel odd wearing a swimsuit. The water was great.... More

It took a bit for us to figure out how to get to the beach, but once we figured it out, it was fine. We stayed on the beach all day and enjoyed the experience. People are free and enjoying the beautiful crystal clear water and sun. Also, don't be alarmed if you see celebrities on the beach too. We... More

Have been going to LB since 2000. The people are friendly. Bring an umbrella and enjoy the sun and water!

It isn't the easiest to find, or the easiest to get to, so if naked people offend you, don't go. Otherwise, this beach has some of the best beach surf on the island and a gradual, virtually rock free beach as well as plenty of shade above the beach for those who prefer their sun in smaller doses.

Came here on a sunday during the beach party and had an amazing time! It is clothing optional so be aware but really didn't bug me at all. I also came here on a 'normal' week day and it is one of the nicest beaches on Maui! Loved it.

I have nothing against either but I choose to not hang out with them on vacation. THis beach is a throw back to the 60s and if you are shy - stay away. Lot of naked people strutting their stuff (but probably shouldn't). Why is it only unattractive people love being naked at beaches? Were is the perfect 10 nude... More

Our favorite beach in Hawaii. Friendly people - mostly naked - from all walks of life. Locals and tourists. Young and old. Men and women. Gay and straight. Warm sand. Fun waves. And some good snorkeling just around the west point. Bring lunch, arrive early and forget all your troubles.
