About
Punalu'u Beach Park is a nice, quiet spot for a quick stop. It is not the famous black sand beach from the Big Island, so don't get them mixed up! It is great for a picnic or a quick look at the water, but swimming can be rough. It is a bit small and can get some trash, but it is a peaceful place to relax.

Don't expect to see turtles here; this is a different Punalu'u than the one on the Big Island.
