3. Punalu’u Beach, Hawaii

You won’t be alone when you visit Punalu’u Beach on the southeast coast of Hawaii’s Big Island. While there are bound to be other tourists enjoying its shiny, coal-black sand, your main competitors for a comfy spot will likely include hawksbill and green turtles.

 

4. Kamari Beach, Greece

Talk about a picturesque spot. The black sands of Kamari Beach flow into the white-washed resort town of the same name on Santorini’s southeast coast. One of the largest black sand beaches on this volcanic isle, Kamari Beach offers a lovely view of the towering Mesa Vouno.
