Waianapanapa State Park (Hawaii)
The beach in Waianapanapa State Park is one of the few in the world. The Pailoa beach was created sometime hundreds of years ago, as a result of the volcano eruption.
When the hot lava meets with the sea, it quickly cools creating a mass of basaltic rock that shatters due to the fast cooling. In its wake, it leaves one of the most unique types of sand: black sand!
This beach will take your breath away because the contrast between the dark green foliage around, with the deep blue sea and the black sand will definitely stay with you in the years to come!
Believe us that if you made the trip all the way to Hawaii, you will not want to forgo this stop. You can admire the beauty of the beach and relax at the same time!
