Oahu: Diamond Head Lighthouse Beach

This is a fairly small beach area, and it pretty much disappears at high tide, so try to time your visit for low tide. It's fun, but there are not a lot of people here. Nude sunbathing is illegal in Hawaii, and I've heard that the police patrol here from time to time. So be prepared to cover up fast, just in case. Another way to get to this small beach is to park in the parking area on Diamond Head Road, then hike down to the beach near the lighthouse, turn right and look for naked men!

Nice and quiet very relaxing. Great place to check guys out. Nice niches to hang out. Also good place for some action.

This short stretch of rocky beachfront has been a gay beach since forever. It used to be a fun nude beach and a great place to show off a hardon, but recent crackdowns by HPD (they'll arrest you and haul you off for booking) have really discouraged casual nudity, so now the guys compete with each other to see who can cover up the least. The result is an amazing collection of hyper-engineered, sheer or lycra thongs and bikinis that show it all off...legally, so it's still hot. Good, clean swimming water in the reef's shallow nearshore (wear fins and goggles for safest swimming), but be careful of the slippery rocks and sharp corals getting in. There are cruisy trails into the cliff brush and little hidden, condom-wrapper-strewn gullies and "nests" for quick intimacies right behind the beach, but, again, use caution. Best at low tides.
