OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Little Makena
Beach is just that, "Little". It is adjacent
to Makena "Big" Beach. Divided by a rocky
cliff with a path to the other side.
WARNING: This beach is known as a
"Clothing Optional" beach. So be careful if
you have children or you are offended by
that sort of thing.
This beach is tucked away from view in a
secluded cove. Because of that it really can
be nice and quiet. Puu'olai cinder cone is
right behind the beach giving it an even
more secluded feeling.
Swimming, when the surf is down, sunbathing,
and snorkeling are all done here. Boogie
boarding can be great too when the surf is
up.
There are no amenities at this beach.
Although if you hike back over to Makena
"Big" Beach, you can make use of those
amenities. |

As you enter Kihei, take Piilani Hwy. 31 till you get to
Wailea, go down the hill and turn left at the light. Go
through Wailea to Makena. About two miles past the Makena
Prince Hotel you will see the entrances and parking areas
for Makena Beach (The first entrance, a dirt road, is Oneuli
beach, the black sand beach). Walk onto Makena beach, turn
to your right and walk to the tall lava wall at the end of
the beach. Climb the trail up and over to Little beach. |

While
Hawaii's beaches can bring much enjoyment,
it is always a good practice to use common
sense while visiting them. Please be aware
of the wave & wind conditions before going
into the water. Mornings are usually best
for swimming, snorkeling or diving. Have
respect for the strength of the waves and be
aware that high surf can come up at any
time. NEVER turn your back to the ocean.
Be careful when exploring any rocky
shorelines. Waves can crash on the rocks and
knock you over easily, and the rocks may
also be sharp when walking on them.
When snorkeling or scuba diving, please have
respect for ocean life, and remember that
the coral reef is alive too. Avoid standing
on or touching if at all possible. |
