Punalu’u Black Sand Beach

Punaluʻu Beach (also called Black Sand Beach) is a beach between Pāhala and Nāʻālehu on the Big Island of the US state of Hawaii. The beach has black sand made of basalt and created by lava flowing into the ocean which explodes as it reaches the ocean and cools. This volcanic activity is in the Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. Punaluʻu is frequented by endangered Hawksbill and Green turtles, which can often be seen basking on the black sand.

Waikiki Weed

WTH? I was walking down the sidewalk in Waikiki and couldn’t believe what I was looking at!…. OMG!……Well…on a more positive note…If you love to travel and sample the local brand? You may want to consider Waikiki. Looks like you can hook with some Maui Wowee pretty easy over here. Cheers! Filmed on the Island of Oahu, State of Hawaii. Created on March 3, 2012.
