This one is harder to get to, but worth the experience. I have tried to visit all colored sand beaches in the world and this one is great. You park in a weird area on the street like by a school an… Full review by TinyTownQueen

A definite highlight of an otherwise underwhelming road to Hana. My 6yo daughter found it quite easy and fun to hike there (had to hold my hand on some sketchier parts tho and we wore proper hiking s… Full review by Marcin S

Believe the signs that warn you that this is a dangerous trail. Short, but very narrow, cliff hanging trail. We are in our 60's, and like to do pretty moderate hikes and have climbed over many boul… Full review by Meander16019911222

Q:
Is there any place where you can view the beach without having to navigate the difficult trail? I would love to see it, but I'm not confident in my ability to get down to it safely.
A:
There is only the one trail. I'm not sure what your ability is, so I can't say for sure how difficult itwould be for you. Its hard packed dirt, but is a little narrow. The main problem I …

There is only the one trail. I'm not sure what your ability is, so I can't say for sure how difficult itwould be for you. Its hard packed dirt, but is a little narrow. The main problem I would say is there are some roots from trees you need to be aware of so you don't trip. There is some moderate grades up and down, but not horrible by any means. If there is more than one person I would say you can help each other at any difficult spots. I can't judge for you, but even if you try and can't do the last bit (which is the area that has a little climb down) you still get a good view from above If you search red sand beach maui, the elevated views are what you would see from there Hope you can see it. Definitely one of my favorite beaches
Q:
Does anyone have a location of where to park?
A:
You can park on the side of the road by the beach.

Nope. Free and not a very long hike at all. Maybe 10 minutes if you don’t stop and take pictures. Beach and water was gorgeous there.

We are an older couple but still very active. Are there any view points on the way to the beach to take a photo in the event we cant make it all the way? Doug

Not really. It's not too difficult a hike despite what people say. I'm 70 and had no problem. But you have to get around a bend to really see the beach and at that point you're there. We did …

Not really. It's not too difficult a hike despite what people say. I'm 70 and had no problem. But you have to get around a bend to really see the beach and at that point you're there. We did not go down to the beach since that seemed a bit difficult. I wouldn't go if it isn't sunny though. Mornings are best.
