Camping at the Punalu'u Black Sand Beach is a unique option for campers who want to be near the ocean, as there are no other beaches in the Mountain View area of Hawaii. Situated between the little town of Naalehu and the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Punaluu is one of the most beautiful and largest black sand beaches in all of Hawaii.

All of the necessary amenities, as well as a snack vendor, are available during the days, including showers and restrooms. The beach itself isn’t the best for swimming, but is fine for snorkeling or a dip when the waters are calm.

Address: Punalu'u Black Sand Beach camping, 96-884 Government Rd, Mountain View, HI 96771
