Punaluu Black Sand Beach


If you're enticed by the prospect of swimming next to rare, endangered green sea turtles and spreading a blanket on the black sands that hide crystals and shells, this place is for you. After watching cresting waves against the blue Pacific, you can take a hike on one of several trails.

 

Black Sand Beach This windy beach, near a resort complete with a golf course, is named for the fresh water springs in the bay where Hawaiians dove to tap the springs in the warm, clear water. Secluded, this is a great getaway for honeymooners.

 

Hint:

Be careful to not touch the turtles, as they are well protected by Hawaiian laws.

 

Public restrooms and showers are available, and also camping (if you don't mind the wind).
