Isaac Hale Beach Park

Isaac Hale Beach Park, also known as Pohoiki Beach, is one of the world’s newest black-sand beaches, formed during the massive Kilauea eruptions in 2018. Located on the Big Island of Hawaii, this beach offers a stark contrast to the typical idyllic tropical setting. Instead of soft white sand and gentle cerulean waters, visitors will find a rugged, volcanic landscape. The beach’s dark, grainy sand and the raw, unspoiled beauty of the surrounding area provide a unique and immersive experience of Hawaii’s volcanic nature. Today, visitors can explore this dramatic shoreline and witness the powerful forces that shaped the island.
