Punaluu black sand beach park big island Hawaii
Punaluu Black Sand Beach. Have you ever seen a beach with black sand? Because of constant volcanic activity, you'll find white sands and black sands on the island of Hawaii. Located on the southeastern Kau coast, Punaluu Black Sand Beach is one of the most famous black sand beaches in Hawaii. Located between the towns of Pahala and Naalehu in Kau, Punaluu Black Sand Beach's jet black shores are an unforgettable sight. Coconut palms fringe the upper edge of sand and you may also discover large honu, (Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles), basking on the beach. Although it may be tempting, do not touch these protected turtles and do not remove any black sand from the beach. Although swimming isn't ideal, there is a picnic area and restroom facilities so you can have lunch while you experience the unique feeling of black sand between your toes. 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!
Punalu’u is an expansive and easily accessible black sand beach on the Big Island. It is a great place to go for swimming, snorkeling, a (short) coastal hike, camping (with permit), or a picnic.
Naalehu Big island Hawaii Vog Report
This is a short video taken from my driveway looking out at the ocean. I live in Naalehu in the Waiohinu area in the Kau district on the Big Island of Hawaii. People are always asking me about the vog here in Hawaii, especially if they are interested in buying property in Hawaii. Since I sell real estate, I thought it might be nice for people to be able to see what conditions are actually like here in Naalehu, so I have been posting semi-weekly posts describing the conditions in this area..
