Big Beach, also known as Oneloa Beach, stretches over 1.5 miles and is famous for its pristine white sand and crystal-clear waters.
The park is home to Puʻu Ōlaʻi, a volcanic cinder cone that offers stunning views of the surrounding area.
The waters off the park's coast are part of the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary, making it a prime spot for whale watching during the winter months.
The area was once a thriving Hawaiian fishing village and holds historical significance for native Hawaiian culture.
Little Beach, located just over a small hill from Big Beach, is known for its more secluded atmosphere and clothing-optional policy.
Mākena State Park is a popular spot for snorkeling, where visitors often encounter Hawaiian green sea turtles, known locally as honu.
The park offers trails that lead to breathtaking views of the coastline and the neighboring islands of Molokini and Kahoʻolawe.
