Parks & Nature
This black sand beach is hidden, but you will notice lots of cars parked at the trailhead. It is a bit of a treacherous hike down, so make sure you bring good walking shoes. But once you are down there, it is incredible. The waves are pretty aggressive, so most days it isn't the safest place to swim. But, it is stunning and probably the best black sand beach around. Enjoy!

Volcano National Park is an amazing place to visit. During the day you can visit old lava tubes where lava flowed through the Earth and left a tunnel or enjoy the many hiking trails. There is also a beautiful drive down to the water through the park where you can see ancient petroglyphs and even see the lava actively flowing into the ocean. At night, don't miss the glowing cauldron inside the park. Seeing it glow under the stars is a memorable experience.
