Summary
A permit hearing on Maui could reshape access to Mākena State Park, and with it, the fragile future of Little Beach. The proposed improvements do not directly target the beach’s long-running clothing-optional culture, but parking changes, managed entry, and tighter oversight could alter the informal conditions that have allowed it to survive for decades.
