Black Sand Beach near Hana on the Island of Maui

The Black Sand Beach

Honokalani Black Sand Beach is located in the Wainapanapa State Park. This beach is set among lava cliffs. Over millions of year the persistence of the ocean have beaten this lava cliffs to sand. There are different sections of sand on the beach. Some medium rocks to fine grain sand. It looks out of this world cool and the sand is a true black.


Wave beating the black lava rock down to sand in action. If you look close you will see the grains of sand flying through the air after being crushed against a rock from a small wave. This turns a bunch of lava into a beautiful Black Sand Beach
