Know before you go

Reached by a short scramble over the rocky point at the north end of Makena (Big Beach) in Makena State Park. Long the island's customary clothing-optional beach.

☀︎ First-timer tip: Gorgeous and welcoming, but the legal status is genuinely gray — read the vibe, follow locals' lead, and don't assume. Sundays draw a big crowd.

Closures, a dress code change, a legal status change. Rare by design: this is not a newsletter and there is an unsubscribe link in every one.
