With its seemingly endless expanse of golden sand beach and perfect bodysurfing waves, this beach is a must-see. Big Beach is the number one spot for sunbathing and swimming. Little Beach, a five-minute hike up and over rocks, is a world-famous nude beach. It also has the best boogie-boarding and bodysurfing on the island; hence the large numbers of young local boys dispersed amongst the nudists. Always watch the weather reports and posted signs. Makena can get rough, and the shallow break makes it easy to get bumped around in the waves.

Amazing Beach
Makena State Park is the best beach I have ever been to. It is free, for starters yet is secluded, one of those beaches off the beaten path. When I went there in late October 2005, i had the time of my life. It took a while for my sister and me to bodysurf without being knocked over with the wave. In the beach, the sand was wonderful! There were not that many people, everything was just great!
Would you recommend this to a friend?
Yes

Why? / Why Not?
Because it is a beach you just HAVE to go to.
