204.0. "How about Hawaii ?" by KAOFS::D_BIGELOW (Hedonism - ahhhhhh!) Mon Oct 23 1989 16:10

    	Just having read note 203, I was wondering if anyone knew of
    any CO beaches/resorts/whatever in Hawaii ?
    
    	On the weekend, I happened to pick up a brochure on Hawaii from a 
    local travel agent, and there were many pictures of people wearing very
    tiny bathing suits, and one picture of a young woman walking topless
    along what looked like to be a clothed beach.

204.1Little Makena Beach in MauiRUTLND::GANZWed Oct 25 1989 11:2717
    I was in Maui 4 years ago - the main nude beach is Little Makena at the
    south end of the island.  At that time the police were sometimes
    hassling people but there was always somebody on "lookout" for the
    police and we didn't experience any problems.
        I got on a mailing list for info on the beach.  They were going to
    court to try to stop the police from hassling people.  In the meantime
    the police arrested a female tourist from Australia for "indecent
    exposure".  It made big news in Australia and Hawaii and everybody got
    angry at the police for harrassing tourists.  The judge overturned the
    police and everything became cool. 
        There is a great guide book for Hawaii.  It's called "Hidden
    Hawaii" - and it tells you about great beaches off the beaten path.
    These beaches are virtually deserted and you can probably do anything
    you want to there.

204.2Red sand beach at Hana, MauiODIXIE::WEILERFri Jan 11 1991 13:1910
    I just got back from Maui.  I missed Little Makena Beach, but did find
    a fantastic c/o beach at Hana.  The beach itself is red volcanic sand
    and is reached by descending the cliffs behind the hotel.  It's a great
    place for snorkeling and no one seemed worried about the legal status
    of the place.
    
    The best advice is to leave for the beach early since the drive from
    the main part of the island can take over 3 hours.

204.3spots on the main island?SSDEVO::PEAKS::MCCOYMon Feb 03 1992 19:2015
	I have a request by way of Alaska. A friend of mine who moved up 
	there last summer is headed for the "main island" of Hawaii (by 
	that I think she means Ohau) during spring break (she wants to 
	remember what the sun looks like!). She asked me to inquire in this 
	conference about CO beaches. So, does the new World Guide have any 
	Ohau spots listed? Anyone have any first hand experience?

	And, since you're flipping through the pages of the guide anyway,
	she would also be appreciative of any pointers to CO spots around
	the Anchorage area. There's one for the Naturalist questionnaire;
	"Ever been nude north of the Tropic of Cancer during winter? (or
	"south of" for our friends down under!)

	thanks,
	-dean 
204.4Update on Hawaii sites..BAGELS::SKINNERhappy wearin nuthin but a smileTue Feb 04 1992 23:5934
    A friend of mine just returned from Hawaii and has provided these
    updates:
    
    LITTLE MAKENA, MAUI
    
    THe beach is open and the hassles that plagued naturists using the
    beach are gone.  A new mayor has been elected and she is not interested
    in hassling the naturists using the beach.
    
    
    RED SAND BEACH, HANA, MAUI
    
    A secluded beach, you should try to get to the beach early.  Arriving
    at 1:30 PM, the sun was already blocked by the cliffs.  Pay attention to
    parking regulations, police ticket improperly parked cars.
    
    
    HONOKOHAU BEACH, KAILUA, HAWAII
    
    A nice beach, be sure to follow the directions properly.  Take a left
    just before you get to the Kona Marina, parking just beyond the
    boatyard.  Follow the path propoerly, beware of unfriendly-sounding
    dogs.
    
    KEHENA BEACH, HAWAII
    
    A great beach with nice people.  Rt 137 is a bit bumpy, plan on plenty
    of time to arrive.  The Hawaiians who use the beach seem to be mainly
    leftover from the 60's, very friendly and helpful.
    
    
    One of these days, I'd like to put in my own updates!
