DELIVERY LOCATION: Po'olenalena Beach Head Entrance
Nearby Beaches: Polo, Pauleau, Maluaka, Little, Makena (Big Beaches I, II, and III)
Finding an empty beach in south Maui is rare, but Po'olenalena (also known as Paipu Beach, Pepeiaolepo Beach, Love Beach, Keauhou Beach, or Makena Surf Beach) might offer that peaceful experience. Perfect for swimming with its gently sloping sandy shores, the beach features lava rocks at each end for great snorkeling.
(Big Beach )
DELIVERY LOCATIONS: Po'olenalena Beach Head Entrance
Makena Beach (or Big Beach), stretches ⅔ mile with three entrances. Its pristine white sand attracts snorkelers and sunbathers alike. The beach offers lifeguards, portable toilets, picnic tables, and paved parking, but lacks freshwater amenities for drinking/showering. Families should take precautions due to high tides, and check the conditions with the on-duty lifeguard before entering the water as they can be very dangerous. Accessed by a small path over the hill and lava, Little Beach offers a secluded spot for naturists to enjoy nude sunbathing and swimming, defying Hawaii's prohibition on public nudity.
