About This Beach
Little Beach, tucked away behind Big Beach in Makena State Park, is a clothing-optional haven known for its stunning sunsets and varied crowd levels. The beach requires a short but challenging climb over lava rocks, which limits accessibility, but rewards visitors with soft sand, clear water, and a relaxed, unique atmosphere. The presence of Sunday drum circles and fire dancers significantly impacts crowd levels and the beach's vibe.
