SPECIAL INTEREST: HASSEL OVER THE WORLDS FINEST
NUDE BEACH 2002
BRIEF OUTLINE AND OVERVIEW OF RECENT EVENTS REGARDING LITTLE BEACH, MAKENA, MAUI
The recent "culture clash" or controversy over the clothing optional
use of Little Beach traces its origins to the activities of provocateur*
Charlie Maxwell. Maxwell who is half Hawaiian and half Haole claims he
is particularly knowledgeable in Hawaiian Culture. Maxwell has clearly
embraced fundamentalist Christian beliefs which are probably more closely
linked to the Scottish side of his heritage. He rejects the pagan belief
system of the Hawaiian side of his heritage and suggests that the old gods
and beliefs be respected but not worshiped or venerated in any significant
way. Maxwell has made a livelihood out of encouraging native Hawaiian's
to fight for their rights and beliefs (as long as they are not contrary
to a Christian perspective).
*provocateur n. a person who provokes trouble or incites
dissension; agitator; agent provocateur.

GENERAL CONDITIONS ON MAUI OF INTEREST TO TOURIST
Expect delays traveling about the Kihei side of Maui. From 3:30 to 5:30 these days the traffic becomes rather bogged down. Expect the normally five minute trip to take thirty minutes as congestion increases.
Conditions are expected to worsen over time. Apparently the new trend is to put up more traffic lights. With the lights concentrated within just a block or so of one another the prospects of a meaningful traffic flow are non existent.
Dr. Leisure talked with someone who did a traffic study about twenty five years ago. At the point on the road there was only about four cars went by in an hour. Dr. Leisure did a survey and found that things hadn't really changed that much. Still only about four cars were going by in an hour! Albeit they were part of four hundred cars stacked up waiting to get through the rather congested streets of Kihei.
Visitors should be aware that it is standard policy to close a road completely if there is a traffic accident involving a fatality. This closure will likely be for more than a few hours. This can have particularly negative implications if the tourist is staying over on the Lahina side and needs to catch a flight out at the airport in the center of the island.
Books of particular interest to tourist or others interested in the culture of Maui.

In case you don't know how to find Little Beach just remember it is exactly one mile south of the Maui Prince Hotel on the same road as the Prince. Make a right turn (toward the ocean) and park in the parking lot. Proceed to Big Beach. Turn right and walk to the volcanic outcropping. Than proceed up the path. Turn left where it widens slightly and gets extremely steep to continue straight up the hill. Walk over the hill to the ocean and behold Little Beach.
Word of Mouth Rent-A-Used Car This is the place Dr. Leisure rented from when he needed dependable transportation at the lowest cost. Dr. L drove the same cars the surfers used, including surf rack, and thus would fit right in at any beach scene. Now that Dr Leisure lives on the island he sets up his visiting guest with a Word of Mouth Rental. They may not be one of the top ten attractions on Maui, but good inexpensive transportation is essential and this is the place to go. They will work with you to get that car to you on a late night arrival! I know from first hand experience. FAX 808-877-2439 phone 808-877-2436 1-800-533-5929
