12. The Punalu’u Black Sand Beach

Overshadowed by Kilauea, Punalu’u is one of Hawaii’s most well-known black sand beaches. This is a striking example of what happens when hot, volcanic lava meets the cold sea. The tiny particles left behind are certainly an unforgettable sight. Both tourists and numerous Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles absolutely love basking in the sun on the jet-black beach.

 

13. The Waiānuenue Falls

Nestled within Wailuku River State Park, this 80-foot waterfall is also known as “Rainbow Falls.” It is so named because every sunny morning at roughly 10:00 in the morning, you can see several rainbows in the mist of this towering waterfall.
