I absolutely adore that beach. It's easy to get to by car, and it's spotless. Plus, there are some great eateries right by the shore. And I'm a huge fan of the black sand!

This location is a great spot to visit! The sand is a mix of gray and volcanic black, and the water is cold, so be sure to bring a sweater. There are plenty of restaurants nearby and a lifeguard on site to keep you safe.
