Punalu’u Black Sand Beach
Punalu’u beach is the most famous black sand beach of Hawaii and is also known as just ‘Black Sand Beach’. Besides the obvious black sands, another reason for the popularity of this beach is that you can often see endangered Hawksbill turtles and green turtles basking in the sun on the beach!
The sand at the beach is made of small pitch-black fragments of lava, and the beach is lined by rows of coconut palms. The shade below the palms is a good place to hang out because the black sand can get very hot in the sunlight.
