There is a Black Sand Beach in Hawaii
The Punaluʻu Beach in Hawaii features black sand made of basalt and created by lava, which explodes as it makes contact with the ocean. The lava, which later cools, is the result of volcanic activity at the Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. The Punaluʻu beach, also known as the Black Sand Beach, is often frequented by endangered green and hawksbill turtles.
