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

Ling Lee

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 ????

Cynthia Lin

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

Yuan Wang

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.

Ed Hunsinger

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.

Anna Huerta

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 .

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.

Becky Nou

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!

Caitlin Stinneford

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.

Sarah Sliva

Gorgeous find. Had place nearly to ourselves. Glad the guidebooks don't talk it up too much. A definite must-do on Maui.

Todd Andrews

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

Scott Brodeur

A not so hidden, hidden gem !

Monica V

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.

Phil Nom

Harder to find than Wally, but much more satisfying

Katerina Bondar

Be prepare to walk to this beauty, and not in flip flops )

Matt Hood

Great hike to a one of a kind beach !

Vlad

Good trail , nice view , beach is not the main here

Suma Reddy

Feels off-the-beaten-path! Nude beach but most folks were suited up

Ashley A.

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

Stefan Knoller

Difficult hike to get down, be careful!

Lalo H

bring a camera , you will take amazing pictures!

Kristian

the trek there alone is worth the view

Maui Hawaii

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

Kathy Toomey

Hike along the ocean - easier than the narrow path above

Callie N

Not a hiking person? I suggest you not to go, but if you do, the experience will make it worth it.

Morgan H.

Watch out for the nudists!

Soxinly

So unique! Worth the hike !

Bill

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.

Hollie Notter

Stay near the coast line . Don't go up!

Caroline Grimm

Coisa mais linda do mundo! Trilha bem perigosa, mas curta, vale a pena!
