After six hours on our travels and a dozen of&nbsp;impressive&nbsp;prior stops, we arrived at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hawaiistateparks.org\/parks\/maui\/waianapanapa.cfm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Waianapanapa State Park<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;headed straight for the&nbsp;black sand beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We parked our car and followed the self-explanatory arrows towards the beach. The path was paved and steep, yet abundantly&nbsp;scenic.&nbsp;This was tricky for my clumsy self.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watching my footing while trying to take in&nbsp;the beautiful backdrop was a challenge. But, absolutely&nbsp;worth the potential hazard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"gb-block-image gb-block-image-33298095\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"gb-image gb-image-33298095\" src=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/IMG_5336-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Waianapanapa Black Sand Beach Maui\" title=\"Black Sand Beach\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/IMG_5336-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2013\/01\/IMG_5336-800x533-300x199.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2013\/01\/IMG_5336-800x533-140x94.jpg.webp 140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After a short descent, we arrived to the beachfront which was layered with black rock all&nbsp;the way to the waters edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&nbsp;started with large&nbsp;coal colored&nbsp;rock, followed by shiny black sand with descending sizes of pebbles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As soon as my foot touched the beach, I made a run for the water. Didn&#8217;t even bother to remove my shoes.&nbsp;I&nbsp; just couldn&#8217;t bare leaving without scooping up a handful of the Waianapanapa black sand. I even thought about sticking&nbsp;a handful in my pocket as a souvenir.
