In reply to N. That's horrible. I did not have that experience when I was there, so I wonder what is going on. Hopefully they will clear up the smell soon so other visitors don't have the same experience!

Was at the black sand beech today… there was a horrible hydrogen sulfide or sewer smell near the top of the beach…. our hands smelled for hours after touching the pebbles. What it was really worries me…. park rangers or authorities should do an analysis for sewage or chemicals…

In reply to Kerry. There is something special about Maui: the smell, the air, the laid back attitude. I hope you make it there one day! Even if you can not see the black sand, your feet will definitely know the difference :)

I desperately want to go to Hawaii. My friend made it all the way through medical school and took a trip there as a graduation present to herself. She walked on the beach the first day and her feet broke out in a rash of some kind. I don’t know if this was from black sand or if she even saw a black sand beach, but I sure would like to.

Black sand beaches and luaus are the main reasons I want to go to Hawaii. Can't wait to wiggle my toes in it myself.

Thanks for sharing your post. I agree that what I would do differently next time is spend more time at the black sand beach!

In reply to Mike@EarthDrifter. It sounds a bit painful to play volleyball on a black sand beach! But, what a memorable experience!

What a beautiful place! I played volleyball on a black sand beach on a Greek island. It can be rough when you dive as the surface is often rocky. I've never seen hieroglyphs on a plant, so cool. Thumbs up to Rachel and you for taking the picture.
