Red Sand Beach - Hidden Beach Getaway
Written by Vacation Idea.com Travel Editors.
Finding the Beach
Finding the beach is not something that most vacationers consider difficult, however, Red Sand Beach is not your typical vacation beach. A trip to Red Sand Beach is a bit of an adventure to say the least. In order to get there you have to first find the path to the beach, which is just past a small cemetary in Hana. If you manage to find the path then you must follow the path until it ends at a rocky cliff. You then work your way around a cliff face where you will catch your first view of Red Sand Beach. From there you work your way down the rocky path to the beach, which is surrounded on by high cliffs. The walk isn't that long but the path is slippery. If your looking for an easier beach to reach then try Hamoa Beach, it's just down the road.
The Beach
Although the beach is only a ten minute hike from he nearest road, the high cliffs surrounding the beach make it seem as though you may as well be on a deserted island. (Especially if the beach is empty when your there.) Remember to bring some food and water since it is hike to reach the sand.
Swimming
The swimming at red sand beach is good as long as you stay within the protective pools created by the rock formations in front of the beach. Since there is no life guard on duty there are also no warning signs about surf coditions or currents, so use caution when you enter the water.
