Additional Information
Introduction
Punaulu Black Sand Beach is located on the east side of the Big Island, adjacent to the scenic town of Vic, accompanied by organaceous rock cliffs. The hot volcanic lava flows into the cold sea water. After the pushing and impact of the waves, the magnesium and iron minerals in the lava are broken and deposited, forming a unique black sand beach. It is also home to rare animals and green turtles.

Very beautiful place, elegant setting, worth a visit
I didn't feel very special at the time, but after walking through some white, yellow and black sand beaches in the next few days, I realized how bright and delicate the black sand here is. The territory of the Green Turtle, even if there are warning signs, is still disturbed. Please give back the cleanliness of the poor territory of the green turtles. Do not take the black sand home. According to investigation, it will bring bad luck.
