Nestled within Mākena State Park, Little Beach is a secluded stretch of soft sand surrounded by gnarled trees and rocky outcroppings. Tucked behind a volcanic ridge from Big Beach, this picturesque cove is popular for swimming, bodyboarding, and relaxed sunbathing. Visitors frequently gather in the late afternoon to enjoy panoramic ocean views and breathtaking Hawaiian sunsets.
