the short answer is Yes they are! I've lived here on Maui for 10 yrs and see thongs or close to it (very cheeky bikini's) on women all the time. it's more rare to seen them on men, I wear a very skimpy rio type suit and occasionally see other men in speedo type suits, but thongs are legal. Just wear what you like and be at ease about it and everything will be fine :) Aloha!
Given that in Australia, thongs are popular open footwear, the answer is yes.Regarding the minimalist swimwear, thongs are permitted on most Australian beaches. They are said to be popular at St Kilda beach in Victoria.
