Mākena State Park

Mākena State Park is a 165-acre coastal park in Mākena on Maui, south of Wailea, where a broad shoreline meets the dormant cinder cone Puʻu Ōlaʻi. Its best-known beach is Big Beach, or Oneloa, one of Maui’s largest beaches at about 1.5 miles long and more than 100 feet wide, popular for sunbathing and bodyboarding. Nearby Little Beach, separated by a lava outcropping and short hike, is much smaller and widely regarded as a nude beach, though nude bathing is illegal in the park. At the northern end, Oneʻuli Beach adds a black sand shoreline, while Puʻu Ōlaʻi gives the park its distinctive shape and separates its beach settings.
