I am determined to get naked whenever we go to a beach. Kauai was no exception.
Unlike Maui’s Little Beach, my advanced research did not yield any results indicating safe and sanctioned nudity on Kauai. This was going to be a bit of challenge. Our hotel was on the south side of the island. I had read about a popular ‘unofficial’ beach for nudists on the north side near Hanalei, but that was kind of a trek. The alternative we chose was a place called Donkey Beach on the east side, just north of Lihue.
Donkey Beach is not the easiest place to locate, but the directions I found on the internet were pretty accurate. There is some convenient parking just off the main highway. Take a short stroll down the hill and ‘Wow!’ What a beautiful beach.
It was nearly deserted. I took a scan both left and right. Saw what appeared to be a naked girl down to the left and found myself naturally walking that direction. We dropped our towels on a nice patch and enjoyed a couple hours of naked sun.
Because it is on the east side and set down beneath some modest cliffs / hills, you will need to time your visit there accordingly. We were there in the winter, and all of the good sun was gone by 4:00 pm.
