This is a black sand beach and picnic area. You can only go down in a 4 wheel drive vehicle. I suggest just hiking down to the beach. The hike back up is a great workout. There is a hiking trail that has to be permitted in advance if you want to hike to the valleys beyond the beach.

Qué meter en la maleta
Bathing suits (wear one while the other one dries).
Bring a sweater or two if you plan to go to Waimea to shop or dine. Us locals do as it is chilly to us.
