Best Black Sand Beach in Maui
The BEST black sand beach in Maui is definitely Pailoa Beach (also sometimes called Honokalani Beach) in Waianapanapa State Park in east Maui.
In fact, this beach is so renowned that it is often simply known as “the Black Sand Beach in Maui.”
Maui has other black sand beaches, such as Oneuli Beach in Makena State Park on the island’s west side, but if you can visit only one black sand beach in Maui, be sure to make it the beach in Wai’anapanapa State Park.
Framed by dark lava rock and lush green tropical vegetation, the jet-black Pailoa Beach in Waianapanapa State Park looks stunning against the deep blue of the Pacific Ocean.
This gorgeous Maui black sand beach is worth the long drive from the west or southwest part of the island, and worth the effort to secure reservations!
