When you
think about going on vacation or to a getaway trip, you probably pick
somewhere warm with inviting weather, people, and beaches. Once you pick
that perfect beach you want to visit, you can’t picture anything else
but a warm breeze and a clear blue sky that engulfs a beautiful brown
sandy beach, with minimal rocks of course.
Try
picturing a beach with blue water, a crystal clear sky, and black sand.
Sounds a little crazy huh? In any case, these beaches do exist. So, the
next time you’re planning a vacation or looking for a new place to go to
for a few days, try heading to a black sand beach.
If you
can’t pick just one or you aren’t sure of any, here is a list of the
most beautiful black sand beaches of the world. The one that I picked
are mostly from US. So if you know any other please share with us in
comments.
Vik Beach, Iceland
Vik Beach
is located in a small village located in the southern part of Iceland.
Though you may think Iceland isn’t the prettiest place on Earth to go to
enjoy a beach. Though this beach isn’t the best one to lie out and soak
up some sun, it is definitely a marvel to see.
Black Sand Beach, Prince William Sound, Alaska
This beach
is located just 60 miles from Anchorage. At this beach, you will see
tidewater glaciers, waterfalls, green hillsides, and wildlife you won’t
find at the zoo.
Pololu Valley Beach, Hawaii
At Pololu
Valley Beach you will find that you have access to an excellent view of
the Kohala Mountains as well as the coastline. This beach is probably
one of the smallest in Hawaii.
Kehena Beach, Hawaii
At Kehena,
you aren’t alone. Here you will find dolphins, which is why this beach
is sometime called Dolphin Beach. You can even swim with these dolphins
if the current isn’t too bad. Most people that go to Kehena just sit in
the sand and enjoy the weather and water.
Kaimu Beach, Hawaii
Kaimu
Beach, though somewhat dangerous, is another great black sand beach that
is a must see. During the 1990s, the beach was covered in about 20′ of
lava.
Black Sand Beach, California
On the
Coast of California you will also be greeted by a beach named Black Sand
Beach. This beach brings about an extremely dramatic scene, with
beautiful water, sand, and peaks all around it.
Oneuli Beach, Maui
At Oneuli
Beach the water is perfect and the land so great that you can even camp
at this beach. If you’re a natural-type of person, you would love hiking
on the Lower Trail as well as the Maluaka.
Honokalani Black Sand Beach, Maui
Honokalani
Black Sand Beach is located in the Wainapanapa State Park. The beach
offers lava pebbles that are smooth and small. Around the beach you will
find lava cliffs. You will also find sea caves, a sea arch, as well as
seaside lava tubes.
Waianapanapa Black Sand Beach, Maui
Waianapanapa
Beach is a great black sand beach that was formed by waves crashing
against volcanic rock over decades and decades. At this beach you can
find some of the most beautiful sites you’ll ever see.
Punaluu Beach, Hawaii
Punaluu
Beach is located on the Big Island of Hawaii. The beach is surrounded by
black sand that was created by lava from volcanos flowing into the
ocean and then cooling. Taking black sand from here is strictly not
allowed.
