Here is a pic of one of the body-surfer types you're likely to see on Kehena Black Sands Beach. No, I did NOT take the photo -- although I like to admire, I respect my photos subjects and would always ask first. It is rude to take a camera to a nude beach and that's the easiest way to NOT be invited back. Because nudity is popular here and ignored by most people -- esp the authorities, both Kehena and also Diamond Head Beach (Honolulu) are sometimes used for nude photos shoots for fashion mags, Hustler/Penthouse type spreads. It's more common to see naked women/models than nude men as the subject of the photos shoots. However, as a rule, the number of nude men just enjoying the beach usually outnumber the women 4:1. It depends too on if there is a weekend or holiday gathering going on.
Of course, the age span varies widely - but I find that there is a tendency to get a lot of teenagers, young adults at Kehena along with the saggy boobed and wrinkled skin seniors too. There is a nice vacation home community that starts just a minute's walk west of the beach -- up on Hwy 137 - the Red Road. So you get a teenage boy and his younger brother down with the nudies.. it's cool and also cute when the teenager comes down to the beach -- casually takes off his boardshorts while the younger pre-pubescent brother keeps his on. That happened the last time I was there. On afternoons after school and on weekends there are always kids from 1-71 on the black sand or in the waves. It's a place where you can actually swim with dolphins or at least see them and the humpback whales (Dec-March for the latter). But every one is welcomed on Kehena - gay/str8 / young and old, singles/couples, all creeds/ethicities/persuasions and lifestyles. It is NOT a GQ / Cosmopolitan type beach for the fashion conscious. Nudity and the freeball-easy clothing are the norm here and also the great leveler of personal status.
