Maui Hawaii Attractions Makena Makena is located East of Kihei and Wailea and it is the longest stretch of white sand on the island. The beach is so long that it has three separate parking areas down its length. Makena beach is actually two beaches separated by a lava-rock wall.
Little Beach is enclosed in a more private cove setting.
This is not entirely true, although some people feel the need to get a full body tan, it is by no means condoned, none of Maui's beaches are public property so sunbathing au natural at risk of getting a ticket. Big Beach has an extremely dangerous shore break so it is a great place for boogie boarding or body surfing. It can be an extreme surfers dream or a nightmare for someone's first time in the ocean. Request that your personal guide to take you to Makena Beach and also ask about snorkeling with turtles just down the coast.
