You have to climb a bit a ways but it's so worth it! Amazingly beautiful and secluded. Great way to stretch your legs after the long, twisted road to Hana

Treacherous climb to the beach but worth checking out for the red sand! Be aware you're walking through private property and make sure to wear good sneakers.

The trail isn't too hard to find but it can be a difficult walk there. It's a nude beach (optionally), so be ready for that. The reward for trekking is a perfect beach with lots of privacy.

Well worth the hike ! Take waterproof shoes as the sand gets very hot to walk on during the day ! The near side can get a rough current , hang on ! The views from this side as the waves roll in is 🤩

Beautiful probably because it’s harder to get to. The path there isn’t as bad as hotels make it out to be, but it’s definitely cliffside and requires extra attention

Rewarding view. Trail head is a bit hidden. Ask around if you're not sure. Once on the trail, it's not hard to just follow the path and get down. Looks like it's popular with locals and hippies.

Totally worth the "treacherous" walk to the beach. It's pretty easy if you take the lower trail. My 7 month pregnant wife had no trouble. Keep an eye out for the "Toilet Bowl" on your way around.

GORGEOUS SPOT! Be sure to bring water shoes for both the trek to this secluded area and also if you have sensitive feet and plan on taking a swim.

Two ways to hike there.. You can hike up or head down closer to the beach. The trail closest to the beach is wayyyy easier!

Beautiful place and relatively quiet. Be VERY careful walking there though, if you aren't careful you could easily get hurt.

If Old Machete Marko wants to lead you, let him. He'll cut fruit for you, give you a history lesson and show you every nuance you'd miss.

Trail is through private property so beware. Well worth the slightly treacherous trail. Once you get there you may see people in their birthday suits. Resting spot for monk seals.

A little tricky to find and you need to be a stable walker to get back here but it's pretty. Not soft sand though.
Callie NAugust 10, 2013
Not a hiking person? I suggest you not to go, but if you do, the experience will make it worth it.
Ashley A.November 16, 2010
Get there early and there most likely won't be anyone else around. It's a surreal place to experience, especially in the early morning light

Harder to find than Wally, but much more satisfying

Be very careful on the path. There are other red sand beaches on Maui that don't cross private property. Read more

A not so hidden, hidden gem!
Sarah SlivaMay 7, 2012
Gorgeous find. Had place nearly to ourselves. Glad the guidebooks don't talk it up too much. A definite must-do on Maui.

Good trail, nice view, beach is not the main here
Suma ReddyFebruary 3, 2014
Feels off-the-beaten-path! Nude beach but most folks were suited up
BillMay 17, 2010
Be respectful, don't walk through the Japanese Cemetary and don't use the advice from Maui Revealed. Stay on the path near the coast and you'll be safe.
Stefan KnollerOctober 11, 2015
Difficult hike to get down, be careful!
Katerina BondarOctober 4, 2016
Be prepare to walk to this beauty, and not in flip flops )
Kathy ToomeyJanuary 24, 2014
Hike along the ocean - easier than the narrow path above
Matt HoodAugust 2, 2016
Great hike to a one of a kind beach!
Lalo HMay 29, 2014
bring a camera, you will take amazing pictures!
KristianDecember 15, 2016
the trek there alone is worth the view
Morgan H.October 25, 2013
Watch out for the nudists!
SoxinlyDecember 2, 2016
So unique! Worth the hike!
Hollie NotterAugust 11, 2013
Stay near the coast line. Don't go up!
Caroline GrimmOctober 3, 2018
Coisa mais linda do mundo! Trilha bem perigosa, mas curta, vale a pena!
