Local Tip
Stunning black sand beach where hawksbill and green sea turtles regularly rest onshore. Stay at least 10 feet away and never touch the turtles — it's the law. No swimming — dangerous currents. Perfect picnic and photography spot. Combines well with Nāʻālehu Farmers Market and Nāʻālehu Park.
