Lovers of romantic holidays in exotic settings will love the volcanic Panalu’u Beach - one of the most amazing Hawaiian beaches. Its coast covers black sand, against which crystal clear blue water acquires fantastic shades. Slender rows of palm trees approach the coast, which makes the landscape even more incredible. Spectacular romantic beach has a lot of unique features. Hundreds of years ago, its natives discovered one of the main secrets of the coast.
Under the water they have discovered several springs of fresh water. The most experienced divers immersed in the water with jugs and skillfully extracted the purest water. Nowadays, Panalu’u Beach is of great interest for researchers and nature lovers. Green sea turtles lay eggs in its hot black sand. They are among the rarest animals on the planet, so touching turtles on the coast is strictly prohibited.
Most tourists visit the beach during turtles’ breeding season, to observe how the newly hatched individuals go to sea. Travellers who decide to visit one of the most exotic beaches of the Hawaiian Islands, should remember that in the daytime black sand is always very hot, so they should always take good shoes with them. While walking along the beach one should remember one more important rule - to approach close to palm trees and, moreover, to rest in their shade is unsafe because of falling coconuts.
