The beach at Makena State Park on Maui. For obvious reasons it is called Big Beach, although its Hawaiian name is "Oneloa [big sand] Beach." A short hike over the smaller of the two hills visible in the first image leads to "Little Beach," a small (obviously) stretch of sand which is one of the few places in Hawaii where the police tolerate nudity, because of its isolation.
A view looking to the Northwest: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=18188666&size=lg and one looking Southeast: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=18188667&size=lg There is a much bigger beach in Hawaii, but almost no one is aware of it. Anyone guess why?
