About Little Beach
Little Beach is a compact, crescent-shaped cove in Kihei known for its exceptionally calm, turquoise waters that are ideal for swimming and snorkeling year-round, sheltered by the neighboring Molokinui Crater. The beach draws a laid-back, bohemian crowd and is popular for sunset gatherings, with soft golden sand backed by modest development and clear views across the channel toward Molokini Crater and Maui's West Maui mountains. Its small size and protected location make it feel more intimate than the busier Kihei beaches nearby, though it can get crowded during peak hours.

Here at Little beach i have had one of the best days i could imagine there. At one point i felt so happy i had no more desires or cares in the whole world. Then one day i was pulled out by a riptide and if i didn't calm my self and play my cards right i may not be writing this review right now... I learned a lot about myself out there and even now i believe it is a very special place. One that should be respected.
Makena State Park (Big Beach to Secret Beach & Beyond) Hot, humid, and hilariously unforgettable. Makena State Park brings the full Maui experienceβfrom the golden sands of Big Beach to the surprise cameo of tan-line-free beachgoers at Little Beach. Expect a short but steep climb over lava rock between the two shoresβmore of a scramble than a hike, but worth every step for the jaw-dropping views and people-watching potential. The tropical air is thick, the sun relentless, and the vibe? Somewhere between paradise and a nudist daydream. Bring water, leave judgment at home, and prepare for a wild blend of nature andβ¦nature lovers. Perfect in its own steamy, scandalous way.
Good beach ,sometimes good for surfing. Plenty of nude people here ππ if you like it - must have to check it out. Great snorkeling spot if youβll go a bit further on the trail
Absolutely beautiful beach. Not crowded and has a unique island charm that's hard to put into words. The majestic sea turtles are happy to hang out with the people. They walk up next to you and lay down, take a nap. So nice to see!
Probably my favorite experience of the whole trip. We went on Sunday for the beach party. It was amazing. The openness of everyone was refreshing. The drum circle was amazing. Good vibes all around. Climbing the rocks was definitely easier while it was still light out but I would recommend 10/10. Would definitely go back on a Sunday.
