Punaluu BeachToday I am on Big Island in Hawaii. Expecting to go to a picture perfect beach. I ended up at Punaluu Beach, where the sand is jet black. This has been caused by lava flowing into the ocean, and then exploding in the cool water. It looked just like a typical Hawaiian beach-palm trees, and beautiful blue water, it was just the black sand and lack of ‘beach goers’ that made it different. The weather was hot, and so was the sand. The water on the other hand was on the chilly side. This was because there is fresh water pumped in from under water springs. I saw many Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles. People are not allowed to touch them, as they are an endangered species and bacteria from Human skin can kill them.
On the way back to the hotel, we drove along the coast line and how amazing, there are also green sand and white sand beaches. Fishing and tourism seems to be the main income for families living here. The mix of fresh water and sea water provides an ideal habitat for a variety of different fish. The fine black sand of Punaluu Beach is a big draw card for tourists.
