The hike back can be challenging for young children or others with challenges. The beach is cool to experience. Lava rocks break the impact of the waves so it’s fine to swim in. We enjoyed our time here.

Scenic

Very nice. Wear some good shoes as the dirt trail there is a bit loose on some of the downslopes. It's hard to reach for anyone not in the greatest shape.

we visited all "color" beaches on Hawaii Islands. This was one of the harder to find, but it was worth it

A MUST see in Maui

This gem is located in the town of Hana. If you park near the Hana Community Center, you will find a trail in the field that leads to the beach. The trail is up and down along a narrow path. Flip flops are not the...More

One of best sights in Maui

We were really happy we decided to stop here when doing the road to Hana. It is a bit of a dangerous hike, but if the weather is good and you are in decent shape it is not bad. The nice thing about that is...More

Sacred Red Sand Beach

Such a special place. Be careful on the trail, and respectful of the area. Spent hours there. Magical.

Dangerous to get down, be warned

You should have decent shoes on, this place is steep and narrow but worth it! You will pull down what looks like a one way road... with a gate at the end and big blue home / building to your left. You’ll think you can’t...More

Very unique

The trail to get to the beach is not the easiest however well worth it. The beach is amazing and the water is very clear.

Sorry, just saw your message. Yes. It is a lovely walk to the beach and I recall views of the water. Don't remember exactly...we are 70 and 71.

I'll be in Hana for a couple of nights later this year and plan to do explore and hike as much as possible in my 3 days in the area. However, Red Sand Beach isn't on my to-do list as I understand it is accessed across private property, and locals don't appreciate tourists trespassing there. What do people see or hear when they get there that makes them think it is OK to do this hike?
