Tips from the community
Maui is home to just one black sand beach, but it is definitely one of the best in Hawaii. The primary draw of Honokalani Beach is the striking colors. With the obsidian sand, turquoise waters, and bright green plants, it’s picture perfect.
To reach Honokalani Beach, you’ll have to wind your way along the famous road to Hana. Once you’re 32 miles in, you’ll come across Waianapanapa State Park, which is home to the gorgeous Honokalani Beach. While at Waianapanapa State Park, you should definitely make time to visit a few more of the park’s highlights, including the Waianapanapa Coastal Trail, the cool lava tube, the many sea caves, and even the ancient Hawaiian heiau (or temple).
