Punalu’u Beach Park is the most famous black sand beach on Hawaii. It is located on the Big Island of Hawaii. It is a perfect place to watch the sea turtles, and swim or snorkel. Punaluu Beach was created by lava flowing into the ocean. You should enjoy the soothing massaging feeling of the lava granules under foot. Taking black sand from here is strictly not allowed.
