Federal National Park Service rangers have discontinued allowing nudity at Honokohau. People are ticketed there for nudity, and have been for a few years. It WAS a nude beach, not now. Please do not suggest people use that beach nude until the legal situation changes. makalawena Beach on Kona side north of Honokohau or Kehena on Puna (east) side are good alternatives now.
