Yes, Little (Makena) Beach on Maui's leeward side south of Kihei is world class for nude sunbathing. Red Sand Beach is way out east end side in Hana. Very good.

I live on Kauai now. Secret Beach since 2003 has been patrolled by a disgruntled Asian male who is employed as a security guard by a landowner who has a home overlooking the beach. He wears a belt buckle badge that says "security officer" on it and carries binoculars. He walks up and down the beach looking for nudists and orders them to dress. If they refuse he takes a cell phone picture of them and allegedly phones the cops-though no one has ever seen the cops show up. Local nudists don't bother with Secret Beach anymore because of him. Waht he does is totally illegal vigilante but no one has filed a suit against his boss because they don't want to draw attention to that beach. By the way, topfree sunning for ladies is LEGAL in HAwaii, despite what anyone tells you. The obscenity code talks about genitals, not breasts. Most people who dislike tanlines go to LARSEN'S BEACH these days. Larsen's is found by driving on Kuhio Highway, the main road on the east side, and takin g a right at the Molaa Sunrise Fruit Stand. This is Koolau Road. Go over 2 miles which goes down then up and winds around a lot until you come to a place where there is a white pvc pole in the ground that says "beach access" on it. Go right on the dirt road to the end and take the trail to the beach. If you pass the Koolau Cemetary 1858 sign you just went too far, the beach access is just south of that. The beach is over half a mile long and nudity occurs over any of it depending who is there. If you find clothed families parked where the trail empties onto the beach just go left further away from them. If you are there first, set the "dress" code! Most people know they will see nude persons at Larsen's.

I visited Kauai twice in the last two years. Both times my wife and I stayed on Tunnels Beach. There is a great nude beach there. Down on the east e end of Tunnels, around the point, you will find a small section of beach that is nude. A lot of locals visited this spot while I was there. Not many vacationers go there. I was there on day on our last visit, there were five nude locals there. I say locals because they had and all over tan and were a little older, mid to late forties and fifties. I am 37. I was nude too, my wife was napping in the house. ANyway, a young couple walked up and picked out a spot in amongst us nuders. They went for a swim and came back to there stop in the sand. While they were out, all of the nudes left except for me and an older couple, probably in their 60s. He was nude she wasn't. The young couple came out of the water and sat on their towels and chatted to each other for a few minutes. Then she removes her top and lays down. I was thinking that (befor she removed her top) they were going to be offended by our nudity and leave. I guess I was wrong. I decided to leave about 45 minutes later so I got freesed and started to walk back to our house. I looked back at the couple and the girl was putting her top back on. I guess she wasn't comfortable being topless with an old naked guy around, but was ok with me being there.

My point to all this is, Its a nice place if you don't mind being one of only a few people that are naked. A lot of people walk by while you are there.
