Ah, the infamous Little Beach. Despite the signs warning against nudity, this sandy paradise remains a popular spot for those who prefer to ditch their clothes. Rumor has it that the state park status is to blame for the occasional ticketing of nude sunbathers, with fines reaching a hefty $130. Though enforcement is rare, it seems that Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 4:00PM are the times to watch out for. But fear not, for the Friends of Little Beach are on a mission to keep this 70-year tradition alive and well. Join their cause and bask in the beauty of this natural wonderland.

Although I didn't physically visit the beach, I did locate its whereabouts. Upon arrival at Mākena Beach, you'll need to trek towards the right and ascend some steep rocks. Once you've conquered the rocks, a brief stroll down will lead you to the beach.

Little Beach was an absolute delight. Being my first experience at a clothing optional beach, I was a tad apprehensive, but the serene atmosphere put me at ease. Despite the crowd, the ambiance was tranquil and serene. The water was placid, and as the sun began to set, the tide grew stronger, providing a mesmerizing visual treat. I relished every moment of my time there and would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a peaceful and rejuvenating experience.

Located conveniently and easily discoverable with the help of Google maps, this beach can be accessed through Big Beach. However, to reach this spot, one must pass through a gate and climb up a steep rocky hill. It is important to note that this location is not suitable for children. Despite signs prohibiting nudity, it is still observed by some beachgoers.
