How far to the nude beach ?


That, obviously, depends on where you're staying. If you staying in upscale Wailea or Makena, it's right next door (about a mile or two away). If you're in Kihei, it's maybe 15 minutes away, depending on traffic. Parking is in the public lots at Big Beach, and it's a short hike up over the rise to Little Beach, a cove carved out of the coastal cinder cone named Pu'u Olai. There are always voyeurs and naturist wannabees at Little Beach, but just remember that they're all really intimidated inside and wondering to themselves "how can they ever walk around naked in public like that?" and they're really envious.

For my own preference, I'd go to Big Beach on a slow day and do my nude sunbathing there away from the lifeguard towers and away from the Little Beach scene, but that's just me. Or you could try a beach along the arid southeast coast along the Pi'ilani Highway, but don't expect much shade or any amenities. There are a couple de facto C/O beaches near Wailuku, the capitol city, but no one will tell me where they are. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />
