Although not my top choice, this beach offers a picturesque spot for a quick photo opportunity and a leisurely stroll along the shoreline. However, it may not be the ideal location for swimming. For a better swimming experience, consider venturing a little further down to one of the other nearby beaches. While this beach is known for its black sand, it doesn't quite measure up to the stunning black sand beaches found in Maui.

The beach is a serene spot where you can unwind and capture stunning shots of nature without the hustle and bustle of large crowds. However, it's uncertain whether this location is safe for swimming, so it's advisable to keep an eye on the weather and inquire with the locals if feasible.

This beach is a real gem, with its pristine shores and tranquil atmosphere. It's a secluded spot, perfect for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. The beach is impeccably clean, and there are plenty of spots to relax and soak up the sun. While parking may be a bit limited, the location is well worth the effort. All in all, this is a wonderful spot for a day of sun, sand, and relaxation.

This is an exceptional beach with an uncommon feature of black sand, which makes it stand out from other beaches.

Ideal for surfing enthusiasts, but it's important to be cautious of the strong currents. This beach may not be suitable for swimming or snorkeling. The picturesque black sand beach is perfect for capturing stunning photographs or enjoying a leisurely stroll. The sand's composition is a result of sediment from a nearby river. If you continue driving for just one minute, you'll discover a serene spot where you can swim and relax. There's a designated parking area for up to 10 cars and a convenient boat ramp nearby.
