Comment on Little Beach by Tony

Tony — Sun, 22 Oct 2023 15:14:54 +0000

Just went to Little Beach two days ago. Pretty much described by others.
Some in swimsuits, some women topless and other people totally nude.

Nothing sexual going on just people enjoying the beautiful beach and ocean.
It was a Friday so we figured it was a little calmer than the weekend and was exactly what we hoped for.
I the male am comfortable naked so my clothes were off the minute we were set up. Spouse kept her bikini on for at least 2 hours but then got brave and took her top off.
Realized it didn’t kill her to be at least topless and stated afterwards it was really nice and way better than she thought.
We are going back Monday if it fits the schedule.

For anyone concerned about age, body shape, ethnicity or sexual preferences don’t worry they were all represented.
Even what appeared to be a family.

If you have never experienced a nude beach this place is awesome.
It is tricky footing getting up and down the trail so as others said don’t pack too much stuff as you will need your hands to be free just in case you slip

I did notice a guy walking around like he didn’t fit the scene and was probably from the park staff or authorities checking to see what the behavior was at the beach but it’s just my guess.
I also noticed a large tour like boat went by with lots of people so they must use it as their normal sightseeing cruise but was far enough out it didn’t bother anyone.
People did use their phones for personal pictures it appeared and for reading but nobody I saw was taking pictures of people not in their own group.

Go and enjoy I highly recommend it.

Comment on West Maui’s North Shore by Tony

In reply to Steve Kassel. I did this drive today, kind of by accident, and it was unbelievable!!!! Early morning so very few vehicles…maybe 10 the entire drive . Unbelievable views and scenery ! I cannot believe people live there! Road was very scary in a couple spots and my anxiety kicked in but I just went slow and made it. Not sure what would happen if two cars met in the middle of the one lane parts…back up I guess. And some of the narrow, sharp turns where you can’t see anyone coming!!! One of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. Unfortunately we drive thru Lahaina to get there…not beautiful, but rather quite tragic. Today is oct 6 2023

Comment on How to Pronounce Hawaiian Words in 15 Minutes by De De Crow

The word kaumuali’i is always mispronounced. It is the name of High Chief of
Kauai during Kamehameha I reign. It is not Kau-moo-ah-li’i. The correct
pronunciation is Ka-oomoo- a- lee’ee.

Comment on Ke’anae Peninsula by Jade B

First time I was at Ke’anae was amazed by the waves. 2nd time was a few years later. Had experienced a life change. I stepped out of a car and immediately tears fell. I felt like I was home. I felt peace. The spirituality of Ke’anae and all the islands is true meaning of Aloha.
Devastated about the loss of life and damages due to the fires.
My prayer for this beautiful place of beautiful people.
The Light of God Surrounds You…
Ka malamalama o Ke Akua e ho’opuni mai ia ‘oukou…

The Love of God Enfolds You…
Ke aloha o Ke Akua e kipuni mai ia ‘oukou…

The Power of God Protects You…
Ka mana o Ke Akua e ho’opakele mai ia ‘oukou…

The Presence of God Watches Over You…
Ke alo o Ke Akua e malama mai ia ‘oukou…

Wherever you are, GOD is!
Ma kahi a ‘oukou e hele aku ai he Akua no!

Amene.

Caught this best wave of my life here in November 2003. I an remember descending a 7ft face and riding along it for a couple seconds before I turned and rode the wave in of crystal clear water while looking down at the coral reef.

Comment on Paia Secret Beach by Steve

Stopped by Secret Beach today while on a trip to Paia and Mamas Fish. It was windy so not too many people were there. At any rate, I exercised my option to go skinny dipping; a few folks walked by but no one seemed to mind or even notice. I plan on going back earlier in the day in the next few days so I have more time to enjoy this beautiful little beach.
