This beach is a fun beach for people to frolic and play in the water. It is also called Magic Sands Beach because, throughout the year, the sand disappears and then slowly drifts back. So be cautious.

Not easily accessible but it’s so beautiful. Drive from the entrance between Highway 19 mile marker 88 and 89, it needs a 4 wheels drive car for this path. Or you could drive to Kekaha Kai Beach (between marker 90 and 91) and walk 20-30 minutes north.

You can plan a perfect day trip to Hilo and Volcanoes Park from our house. Below is my recommended itinerary:
- Leave early in the morning to Hilo. Take Saddle Road for 1.2 hours.
- Visit the Hilo historic downtown and its famous farmer’s market.
- Get in the Volcanoes national Park in the afternoon from Hilo via Highway 11 going south, it’s a 40 min drive without traffic.
- Visit the Thurston Lava Tube (Nahuku)
- Hike across Kilauea Iki crater - You can get down to the crater and hike across the crater
- When it’s dark, go to Jaggar Museum and overlook and watch the lava glowing in dark.

You could combine the visit to this pond with your day trip from our house to Volcano park, aka visit the pond in the morning then Volcano in the afternoon and evening. This pond is 1 hour drive to Volcano, it’s a detour when you head from Hilo to Volcano though.
