Located on the "Bras D'Or Lakes Scenic Drive" it is part of the Cape Breton Regional Municipality in Central Cape Breton Island.

Mākena State Park comprises in Makena, south of Wailea on the island of Maui, Hawaii. It contains three separate beaches and a dormant volcanic cinder cone. Big Beach, also known as "Oneloa Beach" and "Mākena Beach", is a popular spot for sunbathing and bodyboarding by both tourists and locals. Big Beach is long and more than wide. The shore is fairly protected from wind. The "Makena cloud" that stretches from the top of Haleakalā to Kahoolawe is often overhead, cooling the sand. Little Beach, also known as "Puu Ōlai Beach" is a small beach just north of Big Beach separated by a steep lava outcropping (the tip of Puu Ōlai) and a 5-minute hike. On Sunday afternoons/evenings Little Beach is host to celebratory drumming and fire dancing. The beach is only long and can be crowded at peak times. Little Beach is regarded as a nude beach and nude bathing is common there, although it is ''de jure'' illegal due to being in a state park. Oneuli Beach or Naupaka Beach is a b ...
