1. Nope. Why risk your allahs getting sunburn? Evah try fo have sex with sunburned allahs? Brah, you out of commission fo at least a month! Das why Adam cover his up with da kine fig leave. Ova hea, we use da kine Ti leaf. In some cases, just a tiny strand will do LOL… LOL

   Seriously, Hawaii has a law against it. And if you're caught, I believe it's a misdemeanor unless you've been cited previously. Be discreet about it, respect other people's rights and you ought be alright.

   Oh… and if you happen to be a wahine; let me know where you're going to be…I'll bring the tanning lotion…

2. Kauai Hiking - Kalalau Trail Beach

   Hiking the Na Pali coast along the Kalalau Trail has been a long-time option for the more adventurous. Day hikes are generally the best choice, as the trail can be arduous and not always well maintained. In just a few short miles you'll see beautiful rock formations and plants. Campgrounds for those on long treks are often overused and can be downright dirty, and mosquitoes are rampant.

   One of the best bets for a day trip is a two-mile moderately strenuous hike along the trail to Hanakapiana Beach which has a nice pond and waterfall and a crescent of white sand. The ocean is treacherous, so swimming is not advised, but sun bathing is great and you'll find some visitors in the buff, especially when park rangers aren't around to Hawaii's no enforce "no nude sunbathing" requirement.

   For the really adventurous, you can continue beyond the beach, lugging your camping equipment for a day-long hike to trail's end.

3. I have hiked the kalalau trail and let me tell you I don't know what they are talking about there were plenty of naked people there!!! The one that will be the laugh of our hike to camp for the weekend was the guy not just hiking but running the trail which is rated for experienced hikers in the buff!!!! My friend and I had all we could do not to laugh as he ran by because after hiking hours along yes gorgeous but crumbly rough razorback trails the last thing we had expected to see was a man running naked past us!!!! Wear good hiking shoes, bring lots of water and iodide tablets (you can buy them at longs drug store) so you can drink the water from the streams if you run out without the risk of leptospirosis (nasty sickness from feces of animals from rain runoff.) You can get this from swimming in water after a good rain if you have open boo-boos or get it in your eyes or nose and it can happen anywhere by the way. The trail is not very well maintained so you have to be careful and do not go if there has been too much rain because it washes the trail out. We hiked in on a Friday and out on Monday and Thursday it was on the news that they closed the trail so it can happen quickly. It is actually 13 mile hike all the way to Kalalau Beach. Here is the breakdown for you… From Ke'e Beach to Hanakapi'ai it is 2 miles, there is a nice beach here well known for surfing but the rip tides especially in the rough winter months can be deadly. From Hanakapi'ai to Hanakoa it is 4 miles and the hiking is much more strenuous as it is steep switchback trail and it climbs 800 feet up out of Hanakapi'ai Valley. Hanakoa Valley is very lush and can be very MUDDY!!! There is a camping section here if you do not want to go all the way to the end the first day. Warning to you, bring OFF!! The mosquitos will eat you alive!!! Oh and if you have to pee after dark wear shoes as there will be HUGE centipedes all over the ground (after living there 10 years I have only seen that many on that hike!!) There is a fork in the trail here that goes up to the falls, be careful as it can be very eroded. From Hanakoa to Kalalau it is another 5 miles. You hike up out of the valley and it seems like a few fingers of the coast and all of a sudden you go from lush tropical landscape to arrid heat and scrub vegitation. You cross the Kalalau stream and and then get to the beach and waterfall. Yes you can play in the waterfall unless there has been recent rain unless you want to get knocked on the head with a rock. There are usually lots of nene geese and goats perusing the shade. If you are a strong swimmer go ahead but the ripe tide can be nasty and check the jellyfish cycle before you go so you don't have a nasty experience to remember. There is an easy 2 mile trail that goes into the valley and ends at a pool. You can usually find some guava and Java plum possibly mangos if they are in season. You must pack out what you pack in. There are no emergency services so you should bring a small first aid kit. If an emergency occurs you have to either flag down a helicopter or a boat. If you manage to flag in a boat you must swim out to meet it as they cannot come in, packing out what you pack in!!!! meaning swimming with your pack! In places the trail is about 8" wide and 3500ft to the sea below. It can be slippery or uneven with roots and rocks. Streams can flood quickly but instead of trying to cross wait they will usually go down as quick as they come up. This is not a trail for kids!!! Do not try to rock climb it is volcanic rock and is very crumbly. So now you can go and be nude if you want after all that who wants to be in clothes!!!! Plus I highly doubt any cop is going to go through all that to give out tickets!!!!! There are a few other beaches that are known as nude beaches one of the most popular being Donkey Beach in Anahola. Friendly warning though it is frequented by couples of the same sex and that can be considered offensive by some. It is a gorgeous beach and can be interesting and fun!!! There are a few other not so frequented beaches where you can certainly get away with nude sun bathing ask around you'll get good directions!!! Happy Buffing it!!!
4. 1. As far as I know, there are no nude beaches in Kauai. The authority on Kauai's beaches is easily the Blue Guide. You can also get great information from travelers and locals in the "Travel Talk" (forums) area of http://fodors.com.

   2. I've done the NaPali hike to the little beach and to the falls. The beach is really for young locals who surf– the waves are intense. We were there twice and I saw NO ONE sunbathing in the nude. If you do the hike– especially if you go all the way to the falls (which are totally worth it), start early, wear comfortable sneakers that can get very wet and very muddy (I scrapped mine after the trek) and bring twice the water you think you need. I'm talking 2 gallons. Seriously. There's a lot of exposed uphill on the way back. It's not an arduous hike but the heat and the humidity put you at serious risk of dehydration. I ended up drinking from the natural streams which you are NOT supposed to do. But it was that or pass out from heat exhaustion. As it turned out, I didn't get sick but all of the books still warn against it.

5. Let's hope so.
