Black Sand Beach, Hana. Alas, it was a rainy day. Waiʻānapanapa to the north.
Waiʻānapanapa State Park, on Maui's eastern shore, spans 122 acres, with a unique black sand beach formed by volcanic activity. The landscape features rugged sea cliffs, native vegetation, and a lava tube. Renowned for geological formations, the site holds cultural significance with the Honokalani archaeological site. Exploration opportunities include coastal trails with views of blowholes. The park offers an unadorned depiction of Hawaii's geological history, appealing to those seeking a less commercialized and contemplative natural experience.
