Stopped here after a typical tropical rain shower to stretch our legs. Afternoon isn't the best time if you want to avoid the crowds on the black sand beach but the surf was mild and you could get in the water...not possible in winter months.

This little cove looks so good I thought it must be fake! Black sand beach, clear blue water, green foliage and little whitewater weaves for good measure. Truly paradise!
Stopped for a picnic lunch here while doing the Road to Hana tour with Valley Isle - so beautiful and peaceful!
Visited here with Mauisprivateguide@gmail.com (Brian Miner) I did not venture down to the black sand beach or the grotto but the guys did. I loved seeing the sea arch and the black noddys that were nesting there.
Worth a 30 minute+ stop. Black beach was lovely but very busy with people. Caves are access and fun to explore. Lots of photo ops.
Lovely and clean black sand beach. Amazing grotto. Camping and walking trails. A great place for the family.
Beautiful black sand beach and lava tubes here! The state park is located about mile 32 on the Road to Hana, which is near the end. We enjoyed a short walk from the parking lot down to the beach, then kept going for a few more minutes before turning back. The beach is quite beautiful, but it is rather small....

This park was amazing! We loved it, and could have spent several hours exploring, but had to be satisfied with a little over an hour. The rugged coast, natural arches, lava tube, princess cave, blow holes, walking trails, black sand beach, etc, etc. all make for a very interesting stop. This is a not-to-be-missed destination on the drive to Hana!
One of the best things about this park is it is free. The caves are worth the 15 minutes it takes to walk the trail, and there are nice paths to walk throughout the park.
Beautiful Black Sand Beaches and natural arches. We enjoyed the nice Coastal Trails and found a perfect spot for a picnic. Bring your own food- we didn't notice any concessions. (But there are restrooms).
