I have been to HAWAII many times and travel to OAHU about 6-8x per year. Pre COVID I would drive to an isolated area on the North Shore of OAHU to Sun bathe in my Womens one piece suit. I have multiple one piece suits that I have worn on isolated beaches. This involved a 1:15hr round trip to get about 1.5 hrs of beach time. From late 2020 to late 2022 rental cars had gotten more expensive and didn’t feel the money well spent for a couple of hours drive and beach time. Starting in early 2023 I would find a grassy area about 150-200 yards from the water off Waikiki Beach to get my SUN time. No driving but still comfortably away from the main throng of beach goers.
This trip I tripped out. Don?t know what got into me. I have multiple bikinis that I have only worn in private tanning booths. SATURDAY I decided to go to my public but more private grassy area and wear one of my very pretty bikinis. People walked by but no one did a double take, I felt emboldened. So on Sunday heading back to that area I just said to myself “enough” and walked straight into the heart of WAIKIKI, placed my mat about 25 feet from the water, and bathed in the beautiful SUN in full view and with multiple beach goers within 10 feet or less. Felt great. Even took a dip in the ocean ( waist deep, did not want my wig looking like a wet dog). No negatives, except one guy occasionally looked my way ( I could dream that he just liked what he saw), otherwise ZERO NEGATIVES. So today I did the same except I walked to the beach in short shorts and tight top with midrif showing before setting up my beach mat and stripping down to my beautiful sexy bikini. I usually wear loose cover up pants and top on way to and From beach. decided to go to my public but more private grassy area and wear one of my very pretty bikinis.

Super experience and felt great to be who I have wanted to be for so long. My advice, be who you are and enjoy the ride.
