Rating:

In a nutshell: If you like to get naked (or watch people getting naked) this is a good place to go. Relatively private and out of the main-flow of people, rarely anyone but folks who live here end up at this beach.
Minuses: People who would be better off keeping their clothes on.
Sound-bite: “Eh, Moonbow, can I borrow your organic hemp loincloth to make a quick pakalolo run?”

DETAILS:
Paia’s “Secret Beach” is a clothing optional beach between Paia Bay and Baldwin Cove. On weekends there is usually at least one local family fishing from the tailgate of their truck. There is no vehicle access for visitors, and for even locals, 4WD and a key to the gated private access road are required.

To access this beach, park at Paia Bay and walk through the small wooded area that borders the west end of the bay. You can also access this beach from a red dirt path along the rock sea-wall that interrupts the sand beach between here and Baldwin Cove.
