Review & FAQ:
Hidden away in a protected cove under a rust-colored cinder cone, Red Sand Beach is one of the most dramatic beaches on the island. A lava rock wall protects the beach from the ocean waves, ensuring that the water is usually calm and perfect for activities like swimming and snorkeling. However, getting to the beach can be much more dangerous than swimming in its waters; the cove is only accessible via a sometimes slippery hiking trail that runs along the edge of the cliff, and visitors are advised to use extreme caution in getting here.
