Road to the Sea Beaches

19° 1.3′ N · 155° 50.6′ W

Two black-and-green olivine sand beaches at the end of a rough lava road on the Kau/Kona boundary, northwest of South Point - empty and starkly beautiful.

Practical

Coordinate from to-hawaii's map. First 3 miles of road manageable by car; the last 3 need 4WD or a hike (to-hawaii). No facilities; strong currents.

Best for

Remote green-sand beaches
