Isaac Hale Beach Park, Black sand beach in Puna, Hawaii, US.
Isaac Hale Beach Park spans two acres along Pohoiki Bay, featuring a dark shoreline bordered by palm trees and volcanic rock formations.
The park honors Private Isaac Kepo'okalani Hale, who died in the Korean War in 1951, and underwent substantial changes during the 2018 Kilauea volcanic eruption.
The park serves as a meeting point for local fishing communities, continuing centuries-old traditions of harvesting from these productive waters.
Visitors can access the park via Highway 130 to Highway 137, with facilities including restrooms, picnic areas, and a partially buried boat launch ramp.
The 2018 lava flows created new geological features, including a natural geothermal pool and fresh black sand formations along the coastline.
