Punalu'u Beach

Ever seen beaches with black, green, white, red or multicolour sand? See this amazing nature phenomenon below!

Punalu'u Beach



Punalu'u Beach is the most visited of the few black sand beaches on Hawaii's Big Island and the stunningly black sand is actually volcanic rock, deposited as lava and subsequently cooled when met by the ocean. Apparently to take any of the sand home would result in you being cursed by a volcano goddess by the name of Pele.
