I believe from the time the sun is up, the beach is open. We got there late morning and it was perfectly fine! Enjoy 😊

There is only the one trail. I'm not sure what your ability is, so I can't say for sure how difficult itwould be for you. Its hard packed dirt, but is a little narrow. The main problem I would say is there are some roots from trees you need to be aware of so you don't trip. There is some moderate grades up and down, but not horrible by any means. If there is more than one person I would say you can help each other at any difficult spots. I can't judge for you, but even if you try and can't do the last bit (which is the area that has a little climb down) you still get a good view from above If you search red sand beach maui, the elevated views are what you would see from there Hope you can see it. Definitely one of my favorite beaches

You just need to park along the road or around the corner in the very small parking lot - but don't face your vehicle in the wrong direction or you'll get a ticket.

Says it is...hit and miss. Rock says nude, most are clothed, but some strip down and get in for posterity.

No permit needed. Just find a parking spot near the community center and the trail begins in the field behind the community center. It doesn’t cost a thing. Enjoy!

From my recollection, you can't see the full beach until you go around a corner. There's a viewpoint right there if you don't want to go the last steep hundred yards. But you will have to walk a bit to get that far. It's really not bad, if you're reasonably fit!

Well I don't think you walk in people's property you walk past some maybe, everyone in the area knows where your going and what your doing if your headed that way. Most locals are nice if any have an issue they will definitely let you know! If you respect the land and don't damage anything on the way in or out you'll be fine. However we stayed at the Travaasa Resort and walked across the grass you the trail so if your worried go that way, however don't ask any Travaasa employees they will not tell you anything about the red sand beach because they won't be liable for the few dummies that do happen to visit. It is my paradise I've never seen a more beautiful beach. oh also it really isn't a big hike its more of a walk with a few bumps and steps nothing to extreme! takes 10 minutes if that! Just don't be one of the dummies that wants to go down one of the slopes to the water go straight to the beach and straight out for your own safety and the rescue teams that would have to save you! FYI we only lasted 1 night in Hana its super remote we went to the red sand beach and hiked the Pipiwai Trail(So worth it). Then got out of there! 😂 Have fun!

Red sand beaches located behind the Hana school at the end of Hana Road which is a dead-end. I recommend you get an audio guided CD for your vehicle.

About 10 or 15 minutes from the back gate of the Travassa

Actually, a nine-year old can probably navigate the trail a lot much easier and faster than an adult. Just hold your child's hand when you can, go slow and take your time. The trail used to be worse, but it collapsed at a most treacherous point a few years ago, actually making it easier now. This area will now require a short. very easy walk along a small rocky beach before reaching the trail again. Before, it was higher and crumbly which could mean a hurtful fall. Just take it easy. Also, be advised that since the beach is remote, there is some nudity at times...both partially and full nudity by both men and women.
